As the rich get richer via Bush's corporate welfare and tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest, there has been a steady increase in poverty and in the number of uninsured Americans. Too bad the hundreds of billions of dollars being spent in Iraq couldn't be going toward a universal healthcare plan. Think of what we could do with 310 billion.

The new census date, which the Bush administration tried to block the release of, shows a rise in poverty from 31.6 million in 2000 to 37 million in 2005. The number of uninsured rose from 39.8 million to 46.6 million. Heckuva job, Bushie.
