We can't feed and clothe all of America's children, but we can afford $60 billion to bail out Bear Stearns.

We can't provide decent medical care to America's seniors, but we can give $85 billion to AIG insurance.

We can't lift one finger to help out Americans losing their homes, but we can hand over up to $1 trillion to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

We haven't the funds to provide proper care and support to American veterans, but we can afford up to $600 billion to buy pledged Lehman Brothers assets.

We can't do a thing to stanch to flow of jobs offshore and alleviate the suffering of out-of-work Americans, but we can hand $700 billion over to a guy who, until two years ago, ran the main problem-creating company: Goldman Sachs.

We can't afford to properly educate our children to fit into a changing America, but we can afford $1 trillion for a war that Cheney and Bush knowingly lied us into.

How can this insanity continue:confused:
