Wow, the power of democracy
Posted By Thaylin on October 3, 2007
A few days ago I watched the House Democrats attempt to get as many Reps as they could to vote for the bill to increase health insurance to children by $35 billion more than the current amount totaling $60 billion over the next 5 years. The vote was shy by about 6 or so votes from being completely immune to the presidents veto. And so, being the shady heartless man our president is, Bush vetoed the bill. Dems are now vying for more republicans to vote yay on the bill.
Why is it more important to pay $200 billion for an illegitimate war as opposed to children’s health insurance. It’s ashame that our ‘president’ doesn’t find our nation’s children more important than his war-mongering.
When will we gain the balls to remove Bush and Cheney form office and charge them for war crimes?

I've lived in New York for about four years now and before that lived in Detroit where I started my career at Raytheon developing E-Learning solutions. Once I moved to NYC I started with Starwood Hotels and Resorts working initially on Flash for the television and moving to the web dev team after that. I love anything that's random in terms of coding and am constantly thinking about how best to recreate the seemingly randomness of nature. When not having my face stuck in a computer monitor I try to give as much back to the community as possible by donating time to New York Cares taking kids from Queens to various fun and educational activities. I also dig cooking, good beer, and am addicted to TED.
