Lieberman calls for new "Anti-Terrorism Tax" to finance GWOT

The short, Reuters story is lacking in details:

Washington - An outspoken supporter of the Iraq war on Tuesday called for a new tax to pay for its astronomical cost as Congress opened a debate on President George W. Bush's $2.9 trillion budget plan for next year.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut proposed a "war on terrorism tax" at a Senate hearing during which he said the Pentagon's $622 billion defense budget proposal for fiscal 2008 threatened to crowd out funds for domestic programs.

The lawmaker, a former Democrat turned independent, favors a U.S. troop buildup in Iraq....
But I'd bet real money they do NOT include cutting back any of the tax-cuts the Regime has bestowed upon it's loyal corpoRat sponsors...

Rich bastards like Lieberman do not need adult briefs. They pay other people to piss and shit for them.

OK, that was yucky.
