You have nothing of value to say... Why don't you care that our government has been doing this with entitlements for more than a half century? Do you really think Clinton had the cost of his military actions in Serbia, Mogadishu and elsewhere around the world included in his budget? Of course not, he "hid" the costs the exact same way.


Those of us who actually pay attention government have known for years that they have multiple sets of books, a practice that you or I would be jailed for doing. Government keeps multiple accounting books in order to more easily "cook" them, Enron style, by shifting money around... sometimes to hide it and sometimes to show it.


If you are trully happy about this expediture being lumped in with the regular budget, then you should join me in demanding the goverment keep ONE set of books that reflects all of governments accounting activities. Additionally, you should also join me in calling for all bills to contain only amendments and expenditures germane to the bill. End the practice of having war funding stuffed inside a Farm bill and Farm Subsidies stuffed inside a bill to fund the war.
