The veto just denies FEDERAL funding for stem-cell research. It does not prohibit private research. In fact, there are billions upon billions of dollars of stem cell research going on every year. I happen to agree with the veto, however. Let's make sure that we exhaust all other methods (adult stem cells, umbilical cord blood) before we resort to something that is this ethnically questionable... Nicely put Ben.

White House estimates are from 423 billion to, currently, 296 billion. I was looking at the wrong data. Scratch that. White House estimates are from 423 billion to, currently, 296 billion.

That's why he referred to it as a **trend**. And hey with two wars, a major hurricane, and a massive rise in entitlement spending, that's not bad. More like 500 billion to 293 billion.

I must concur with him that “I hope the trend continues.”" What from 400 billion to 300 billion? Wooo hooo! Our downward plunge still continues. “I’m happy to (finally) see the deficit coming down, by the way. I must concur with him that “I hope the trend continues.””

Tool? HB did you even read his post? He (Ben) wants more federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Bush doesn't. So, they **disagree** on that issue. And fiscal concerns, no matter how you break it down or spin it, are always involved in legislation. I'm happy to (finally) see the deficit coming down, by the way. I must concur with him that "I hope the trend continues." Seems to me HB that everytime you lack evidence for an argument you smear somebody with being pro-Bush or pro-GOP. Continue to do so, fine by me. But at least attack people for what they've said, not what they haven't. Apologist? Tool? HB did you even read his post?
