From the article:

"Only in Washington can $22 billion be called a 'very small difference,"' Bush said after meeting with his Cabinet. "That's a lot of money -- even for career politicians in Washington."

Indeed it is, Mr. Bush. You sure are financially savvy!
I'm sure you know that $22 billion is enough money to:

give a million students full scholarships at a 4 year university.

pay 350,000 public school teachers for a year.

give 13 million uninsured children health coverage for a year.

immunize every child in the developing world for the next 10 years, preventing 3 million deaths a year.


Or you could continue your illegal, pointless war in Iraq for another 11 weeks... with money you are borrowing from China and Japan.
