$460B military bill omits war funds

[2pac Shakur]

WASHINGTON - House and Senate negotiators agreed Tuesday on a $460 billion Pentagon bill that bankrolls pricey weapons systems and bomb-resistant vehicles for troops, but has little for Iraq and Afghanistan.

Democrats said they wouldn't leave troops in the lurch, but were reluctant to say when Congress might consider President Bush's $196 billion request to pay expressly for combat operations.

Dumbs are gonna rubberstamp both bills.
What's next? Passing a half trillion dollar Social Security bill that leaves out the cost of Social Security? We can just request the Social Security payments as they come due. Call them emergency supplements.
