What's Happening 2/6/07

GOP locks Senate debate on Iraq resolution- A new low for Republicans. Over 3,000 soldiers are dead and the Republicans don't even want to talk about it. However, this isn't the first time that something like this has happened-- back when slavery was a big issue, Congress instituted a "gag rule" so that the topic wouldn't be allowed to come up and slavery could not be outlawed. This is basically what the Republicans are doing right now with this whole situation in Iraq.

Bush is now being more cautious on Iraqi Prime Minister- Basically, Bush planning to use Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, as a scape-goat for when his plan fails. Mark my words . . .

Bush's war on health care- After seeing Bush's plan, it would seem as if though he doesn't want Americans to have decent health care. Among many horrible attacks on health care, Bush want to cut $66 billion dollars from Medicare spending. Bush didn't stop there, he followed that huge cut in health care funding by cutting billions more from other forms of health care-- all so that he could use the money for the war in Iraq!
