What this country needs is a .... Yacht! For the president.

Ok... I think worse then the 3 billion for the USS Jimmy Carter, is the fact that with congress TIGHTENING the budget for education, health and the environment... The republicans FOUND money in the budget for a presidential yacht. I thought W. was suppose to be a man of the people- well how many red state people own a yacht?

The republicans made fun of how many SUVs Teresa Hines Kerry owned and whether they were HERS or John's- to point out that he's not as environmentally friendly as he suggested... Meanwhile they want to use OUR money to buy W. a yacht.

They don't have enough money to buy our troops the proper shielding in Iraq. Many of the Humvees don't have proper armor, and many of the troops don't have proper body armor....
BUT the republicans find money in the budget for a presidential yacht.

These people make me sick.
