What I absolutely don't agree with is how Bush intends to afford this.<BR/><BR/>Look, I'm sure April 20th is the least likeliest day of the year you'll see the sun shining. But if we just leave the options of taxes off the table, our children will eventually have to make up for what this generation won't pay, where a heavy burden will be lifted on their shoulders. I for one believe that the infamous "death tax" is the one that must be rid of. <BR/><BR/>Over half of this nation's annual budget goes toward funding the Pentagon. Since 1948, our government has spent $15 trillion to build up this nation's military, worth more than the cumulative monetary value of ALL human-made wealth here at home (schools, hospitals, houses, water systems, etc.). In result, schools are run-down, our roads are crumbling, health care is unreachable to many, and our minimum wage is approximately worth $3.50 less than it was in 1968. <BR/><BR/>I believe the remedy to both the deficit and the issue of poverty in America is obvious, yet unthinkable to many in our government; we MUST trim the Pentagon and re-direct the funds toward the basic qualities of life here at home. <BR/><BR/>Isn't it embarrassing that the U.S has the highes infant mortality rate in the developed world? Isn't it embarrassing that we're the only industralized nation in the world NOT to have universal health care? Isn't it embarrassing how every 50 minutes a child dies because of malnutrition or poverty?<BR/><BR/>I believe in strengthening the American family, you are strengthening this great nation, and when we do just that, we're destined to take America into a whole new golden age.<BR/><BR/>I believe, if anything, it is the government who truly does NOT support our young men and women in uniform, putting them into unjust wars that have only drained and weakened our army which is designed to protect OUR great nation. <BR/><BR/>Being the optimist I am, I remain most hopeful that soon there will come a moment when the obvious is made luminary. There used to be a time when there was no "Vietnam syndrome", which is alive and kicking again, and I believe deep in everyone's heart, there's a place that feels and knows something is wrong and they can summon the will to do what's right. The syndrome will catch on I believe, and more will finally fathom that war just makes things worse, not just for other cultures worldwide, but ourselves, and doesn't solve anything.<BR/><BR/>I'm also hopeful in that, even for just a few days, reporters on the news networks were acting independent and were serious in bringing up these issues of poverty in our society. I feel though our government may definitely try downplaying it, many Americans truly FEEL the issue, and will make an effort to bring the issue to a national stage.<BR/><BR/>Bless you, dearest Ani! :) I love your blog, yay!
