Yesterday, on Letterman McCain joked about how tax payers sent 3 million dollars to montana to research bear DNA. Oh boo hoo for the tax payers. This isnt the sucker bet, the war in Iraq is the sucker bet.

Earmarks are a drop in the bucket compared to what the war in Iraq costs us. The amount of money already spent on Iraq could've been used to fix so many domestic problems where no petty party lines need to be drawn.

Now people are complaining about the bail-out of Bear-Sterns; but if Bear wouldve gone bankrupt it wouldve rippled throughout all of Wall Street. The Fed stepped in and took necessary action. The bailout is again a drop in the bucket to what the war has cost us.
