#4 I don't think Congress is capable of passing a straight-up bill that doesn't bleed the American people dry with all the damn pork. The pork is often added to make the bill a political football to force the President into vetoing the bill. The donks, such as Harry Reid, can then say that President Bush doesn't support the troops. Geez, what a bunch of dipwads we have in Congress. As Thomas Sowell said, you could do about as well or better by recruiting a bunch of winos off the street to sit in the halls of Congress.
