Ultra mentioned he thought it was a terrible that Bush vetoed the democrats bill of a 35 Billion boondoggle expansion of this bill, instead, insisting on a 5 Billion increase.
Ultra, is THIS what you consider fiscal responsible spending?
After 12-year-old Graeme Frost delivered the Democrats' weekly radio address with a plea to Bush to sign the bill. A contributor to the conservative Web site Free Republic noted Graeme's enrollment in the private Park School and the sale of a smaller rowhouse on the Frosts' block for $485,000 this year and questioned whether the family should be taking advantage of the state program.

The Frosts say the description of their family's circumstances now circulating is misleading. Halsey, they say, is a self-employed woodworker - he has no employees - while Bonnie works part time for a medical publishing firm. Together, they say, they earn between $45,000 and $50,000 a year.
That would make the Frosts eligible for Maryland's Children's Health Program, which is open to families that earn no more than 300 percent of the federal poverty level, or $82,830 a year for a family of six.
The Frosts declined to show The Sun their 2006 income tax returns...

Halsey Frost purchased the family home for $55,000 in 1990, according to city records, and refinanced in 2005, he says, to make improvements to accommodate the return of Graeme and Gemma from the hospital. The 1936 brick rowhouse, on a side street near Patterson Park, has an assessed value of $263,140.
Halsey Frost purchased a 1920 warehouse in East Baltimore for $160,000 in 1999, according to city records. It is assessed at $160,500. Frost says he is still paying off the mortgages on both properties.
The four Frost children depend on financial aid to attend private school, the Frosts say. In addition, they say, Gemma receives money from the city for special education made necessary by her injuries.
Lets see...this kids father owns his own business, including the building...lives in a 500K house...sends two of his children to a private school that costs 20K per student yet he is on public assistance for health care?
Ultra, THIS is what you wanted Bush to expand by 35 BILLION??? For once Bush decided to be fiscally responsible and you slam him for it. What gives?
I didn't slam the President I said I believed the veto was wrong, and I still do.
You were the one misquoting parts of what the bill was about, The bill removed the adults from the roles that Bush has allowed.
