Yes, fellow suckers.. er... readers,
$6.1 BILLION (although an article in The Hill stated $1.6, not $6.1 - it's still in BILLIONS), not million, for Bush's
EUROPEAN-built, American-modified
helicopter fleet. Good thing we have LOTS of extra cash around to meet those needs for roads/schools/hospitals/healthcare/insurance/childcare/New Orleans relief/etc/etc.
Doesn't this just make you proud to be an American? You know, conspicuous consumption, and all that!
Don't worry; be happy! (and take the poll and pls recommend)
