Bush counts on ANWR cash

The budget doesn't have any costs for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, any costs for privatizing Social Security, and doesn't include a politically necessary "fix" for the alternative minimum tax that's about to hit middle-income taxpayers, but it does include $1.2 billion dollars from drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge. Why is that?

"The budget is the right place to present the entirety of the president's policies," budget director Joshua Bolten said in response to a question at a noon media briefing in the Executive Office Building.

Unbelievable.
