"Funds for Health Care of Veterans $1 Billion Short"

Lee — 5/31/2008 9:19:22 PM (archived)

Headline speaks for itself. Just like myth = social construct, so does $86 billion isn't enough, but $87 billion is = $1 billion short.

        Again, you are inventing what he said and then quoting him as saying what you made up! - ARRELL - 5/31/2008 8:32:19 PM
        
        What he said is meaningless. - Lee - 5/31/2008 8:48:57 PM
        
        It's only meaningless if you dont have the reading skills to comprehend it... - ARRELL - 5/31/2008 9:01:51 PM
