Republicans Support the Troops

Not all Republicans are Repugnicans. But right now, Repugnicans are in charge.

Further evidence that the persona the Repugnicans try to project is BS... This article from The Navy Times:

"A group of House Republicans have proposed a plan to offset the costs of relief and rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina that includes trimming military quality-of-life programs, including health care.

Possible sources of funding cuts to free up money for Katrina relief include reduced health benefits, consolidation of the three military exchange systems and the closure of the military’s stateside school system.

The House Republicans Study Committee, headed by Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., is not singling out the military as it tries to raise the estimated $200 billion that the federal government will need for various Katrina-related spending."

This is just the latest of many insults to the Military by the Repugs. But it has recently been repeated by the efforts to kill air quality and to remove benefits from America's poor in order to pay the bill for Katrina/Rita.

Do I have to say it again: It costs us more to not pay an appropriate amount of tax, than it does not to. The economy doesn't grow as well with a lot of taxes, but much of America is paying too little. And the cost of not paying taxes is higher.
