How Many Times?

From AmericaBlog:

How many times do we have to hear:
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to fix Social Security.
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to fix Medicare.
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to provide health care to ALL Americans.
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to help out Americans losing their homes.
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to help all our veterans returning from war.
We don't have ENOUGH MONEY to rescue "no child left behind".

BUT...

We DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
We DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to bail out Bears Stearns.
We DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to bail out AIG.
We DO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to pay for an unnecessary TRILLION DOLLAR war.

How many times, indeed?

How many times will we allow Republicans to get away with ignoring the law? How many times will we allow them to govern in secrecy? How many times will we vote for Democrats who enable tyranny? How long will we tolerate encroachment upon our Constitutional rights? How much inequality will we tolerate?

It's time for us to rise up!
