Why didn't Bush Administration add Iraqi funding to last defense budget? |
|
As we know, the projected budget for next year is to be $480 billion dollars. Now, we learn that they are going to ask for supplemental funding of $65 billion for the Iraq War, since no funding was in last budget for Iraq. This will put next year's deficit well above the half-trillion ($500billion) mark. Was that a magic line that the Administration did not want to cross with their public numbers? It is almost incomprehensible.
