Thumbs down What do you think?

Well, tax season is over....(ugh) are you a little curious where our tax dollars are going? I was...and I was not very happy that 29 Billion
dollars is budgeted for Health care. While a whopping 189 Billion is the budget for the war in Iraq. To make things a bit more bitter, 500 Billion
is budgeted for Defense. The dept. of health has also had to take a 2% budget cut. We are currently spending 4 times the amount on war compared to finding a cure for cancer/and/other life threatening disease.

I am writing my Congressman.
Regards,
Jean
