The White House submitted a $92.2 billion FY2006 supplemental spending request yesterday, which includes $72.4 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and intelligence activities, and $19.8 billion for Gulf Coast rebuilding costs. The Pentagon, which currently spends about $6.8 billion per month, will receive $65.3 billion to get through the current fiscal year. The requests put the total war cost at $115.3 billion for this year alone, as the budget submitted by the president last week requested only $50 billion for all of next year. While the measure will most likely be approved, it does face skepticism from Congressmen who are up for reelection this year and/or wary of the amount of money already spent on this war. Rep. David Obey (D-WI) stated: "President Bush declared 'mission accomplished' on May 1, 2003. Hundreds of billions of dollars later, the administration continues to hide the war's full costs with piecemeal requests so that they don't have to take responsibility for its impact on the budget and can continue down a fiscally reckless path."
