I also don't really agree with Bush's giving federal money to religious charity organizations. Federal money comes with strings. The pork needs to be trimmed drastically on both sides.
"Peace through strength..." No. You can't have peace through strength. We need to achieve peace through money. One of my favorite journalists, Thomas Friedman, probably put it best when he said that no two countries containing a McDonalds have ever gone to war. Increased military spending on things like nukes, which can't fight terrorists who want to blow themselves up are pork. Military pork is still pork.
