"'It's really a sad day when the president can find more than $450 billion to wage the war in Iraq but he can't find the money that you need to protect our communities and to have decent wages and working conditions,' [Sen. Hillary Clinton] said."
First, I think Congress funds both of those operations. Second, under the Constitution the federal government's role is to provide for the national defense and not local law enforcement. Third, I've yet to see the price tag for the US aerial occupation of Iraq from 1991 to 2003, but I am pretty sure we burned through a lot of cash drilling holes in the skies over the region 'containing' Hussein. I'd be interested to see an honest comparison of those costs.
