Bush
And Bridges

Bush is visiting the site of
a bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis . He and Cheney and Congress
have spent $488 billion on the illegal occupation of Iraq, which works
out to $10.7 billion from Minnesota, or $1.2 billion from Minneapolis
and St. Paul. Think you could fix a bridge with that? These are the
most conservative possible figures, excluding future costs already budgeted,
excluding interest on debt created, excluding lost benefits of having
put these funds to positive use. Most estimates of the cost of this
occupation fall between 1 and 2 trillion dollars. Also excluded is the
cost in human life and the greater peril this occupation has put all
of us in.
Suggested slogans for posters,
banners, ads behind airplanes, etc.:
Fund Bridges, not Wars
We Want Our Billion Dollars and Our Troops Back
Build This Country, Stop Bombing Others
New York, New Orleans, and Minneapolis Thank Bush and Cheney
