But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope

Things our government spends money on

One of the big deals that Bush proposed as a solution to making America better was the whole "faith-based initiatives" where the government helps to fund religious programs that are doing charitable work. Now, I am not 100% against this, depending on the program. However, it turns out Bush is giving some money to Operation Blessing, which is run by our good friend Pat Robertson. And by some I mean $14,400,000. Oh, and by the way, if you are not a Christian you will not get hired by Operation Blessing because they have a policy against that. That is where our tax dollars go, which I guess is really not much of a blessing.
