It doesn't matter this bill wont even make it to the senate floor. Anyway, America seems to be turning to the right again so we can only expect more spending on military and the possibility of another war. Its the Republican way.

Hey easter bunny you better look at what's going on in South/North Korea and then look at the white house and see who sits in the big chair and controls congress not to mention the war Obama wanted in Afghan with the rest of your lying chums. Now who's the war monger's again? More blood on the hands of communist democrats than any other.
