It is time to REALLY support the troops. If the Bush Republicans are not going to enlist to support the Bush war, then the least they can do is PAY for it.
Bush keeps talking about making sure the troops have what they need. I agree. To make sure that there is ENOUGH money to GIVE the troops what they need, it is time to RAISE the money to do this. It is time to allow the tax cuts to sunset in order to raise this money. It is the Patriotic thing to do. Pay for the war effort.
It is unfair to ask Working Americans to loose social benefits to pay for the Bush Deficit while the Paris Hilton's get to keep their tax cuts, and America's Civilian Soldiers (the National Guard) see their families go on welfare and face foreclosures because of inadequate pay and continued redeployments. These men are NOT regular military yet Bush, who is unwilling to admit the military is short handed; is using these men as a stop gap for this shortage. Too few people are bearing America's burden for Bush's war of choice.
It is time to fairly spread the burden!
