Bush Administration Charging for Evacuating Citizens from Lebanon. Privatization is no joke. But can they get their taxes back?

How much have they spent in Iraq?

The Department of State reminds American citizens that the U.S. government does not provide no-cost transportation but does have the authority to provide repatriations loans to those in financial need [emphasis mine]. For the portion of your trip directly handled by the U.S. Government we will ask you to sign a promissory note and we will bill you at a later date. In a subsequent message, when we have specific details about the transportation arrangements, we will inform you about the costs you will incur. We will also work with commercial aircraft to ensure that they have adequate flights to help you depart Cyprus and connect to your final destination.

The repiglikkkan governing philosophy that the federal government bear no financial or even managerial responsibility for anything other than war waging and domestic and foreign spying is made clear once again in this news story. Waging war is good for the personal economy of Bush Friends who own the offense industry.

Remember that "ranch" where mad drunk Dick the jackal Cheney shot Harry Wittington in the face? The Armstrong ranch? The Armstrongs with their lobbyist connections to offense defense Lockheed Martin, the company that has profited most from 9/11? The Armstrongs and their kind like all the wars Bush, the war time president and decider who makes decisions in the oval office with war on his "mind" is leading us into.

Even if Grover , Jackie A., Tom Terminal Satyriasis Delay, Ralph Closet Reed and other K street Muppets do eventually end up in the slammer where they belong, the damage will have been done, the infrastructure removed, all government functions INCLUDING REGULATION privatized and all decision making authority handed over to CORPORATIONS.

How wacked is that?.

The federal government will have been drowned in the hot toxic bath water of NOLA . Just like Norquist said.
