Wonder why war bills are so high?

And on and on....c--p, c--p, c--p, pork, pork, pork, earmarks, earmarks, earmarks. That's what comes of allowing deception to be the hallmark of our last days! Without the "God Standard" there are no standards and men live by their own greed and lust for power. Of course this is pathetic. "What shall be the sign of the end of days? Deception will abound."

That is exacty why that stuff was added to the bill even though it had NOTHING to do with war spending...if the republicans voted against it then they would get hung out to dry for "not supporting our troops". No politican likes to waste a opportunity to waste and spend and this just proves it. Spend, spend, spend. Why these guys (on both sides) are not struck by lightening whenever they say the words "fiscal responsibility" is beyond me. Earmarks and add ons to bills should be illegal. If it has NOTHING to do with the orginial material in the bill..it should not be able to be added to it. I am sooo fed up with both sides because both sides are guilty of it. In the end it is the american public who pays for it and is lied to. I hope the American public remebers BS like this when it comes time to vote in the next couple of elections and votes the jerks out on both sides. MAJOR house cleaning is needed.

a lot of money gets wasted on rubbish. your country is not the only one to do this. wars themselves are a rather expensive hobby, even if you do get oil from them.

I know my family and friends will remember the garbage; the lies; the waste, fraud and abuse; corruption; etc. this fall and in 2012. Neither election can come soon enough for any of us. P.S., while in Santa Rosa, CA, I boycotted San Francisco. I had no desire to go there this time while visiting. I did spend money in Arizona and would have spent more if we weren't just passing through.
