Veto

For the second time in three months, President Bush on Wednesday vetoed legislation that would have expanded the State Children's Health Insurance program by USD 35 billion over five years and would have boosted its enrollment to about 10 million children.

Bush cited the same reasons that led him to veto a version of the bill on October 3 - that it raised cigarette taxes and provided coverage for children of middle-class families instead of focusing on the working poor.

At this moment in time, one estimate for the cost of the "war" in Iraq is USD 477 bio.
