Eccentricity: Living in a Swing State
George Bush asked for and got 87 billion from the Congress to use toward rebuilding Iraq. That money could have given Federal health care to every citizen, and supported the unemployed on a continuing basis as the economy tanked. Instead, KBR absconded with millions; Halliburton, which paid Cheney 170K this year, got billions; the troops are still without body armor and their vehicles need armoring as well; and most of the rebuilding pjojects are stalled because of the level of unrest. Basically, like the leaders of the swing state city I mention, Bush and his folks have had their chance and blew it.
