Bush's Economic Plan: Buy Your Own Body Armor!

And help America grow! CNN reports that some soldiers STILL have to shell out to keep from getting shelled:

(AP) -- Soldiers headed for Iraq are still buying their own body armor -- and in many cases, their families are buying it for them -- despite assurances from the military that the gear will be in hand before they're in harm's way.

The military says the shortfall is over and soldiers who do not yet have the armor soon will. But many want to avoid the risk.

Hm. The shortfall is over and those who do not yet have it soon will...sounds to me a LOT like lawsuit defendants who say "I did nothing wrong and I promise I won't do it again."

And how much do you want to bet that if any of these companies got outsourced to China or India, Bush would describe it as a "success story."
