I just find it inredulous that dubbya would veto a bill that would provide free healthcare to kids in the poverty trap. There is a seriously impoverished underclass in all American cities. Those who searched for the American dream and had it kick them in the teeth.
If it is to be paid for by a tax on tobacco then the very fact that their parents spend the money in the liquor stores (if what the Amercans on here say is true) and tobacconists means they will be paying for it anyway, so where's the problem
.
On a more serious note how can one of, if not THE, most developed nation in the world fails to provide healthcare for the most vulnerable members of it's society. Land of Milk and Honey more like land of greed and money.
