U.S. Senate approves war funds

http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2009/06/18/u-s-senate-approves-war-funds/

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a $106 billion spending bill that includes about $80 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, sending the bill to the White House for President Barack Obama’s signature.

The money will fund the wars through October. The 91-5 vote followed a much closer procedural vote that added $1 billion in start-up funds for the “Cash For Clunkers” program, an effort to revive the stalled U.S. auto industry.

The money brings the running tab for both conflicts to about $950 billion, according to figures from the Congressional Research Service. The agency estimated that more than three-quarters of the money so far has gone to the war in Iraq, where most of the U.S. troops sent to those conflicts have been deployed.

not quite.

McCain would be doing the same shit Obama is doing. The only difference is McCain is much more of a warmonger.

it's kinda funny.

When Bush was president, the Democrats were "outraged" by the war spending and the Republicans always voted in favor of more spending.

Now Obama is president, the Republicans are "outraged" by the war spending and the Democrats vote in favor of more spending.

you can't help but laugh at the idiots in Congress.

I read a funny bumper sticker the other day... read something like this: "Don't tell Obama the number that comes after 1 trillion"
