I receive the following email from a friend today. Not the kind of stuff that the Democrats would want you to see or CNN – because it doesn’t fit into their agenda to bash President Bush. This isn’t the kind of stuff that one administration is blamed for. This is generations of presidential and congressional administrations passing the buck down the road until it’s out of control.
I wonder how much out of every dollar I earn, and every dollar I spend goes to fund the immigration problem in our country. And, when you’re done reading the email below, think of all the other areas tax money is mis-spent. The funding of the war on terrorism would be a drop in the bucket and a non-issue if leaders were actually held accountable… but what can one person do?
The email:
WHAT COSTS MORE PER YEAR THAN THE IRAQ WAR?
Friends, this is from an accurate source…something worthy for our concern.
