A Tale of Two Headlines

From the first story:

In his weekly radio address, Bush said the tax cuts had helped create jobs, and he urged lawmakers in Congress to renew the cuts.

"To keep our economy growing, we need to ensure that you keep more of what you earn, and Congress needs to make the tax cuts permanent," he said.

From the second story:

A secret Pentagon study reportedly found that as many as 80 percent of Marines killed in Iraq from wounds to the upper body could have survived if they had had extra body armor.

"Such armor has been available since 2003, but until recently the Pentagon has largely declined to supply it to troops despite calls from the field for additional protection," The New York Times reported citing unnamed military officials...

"Additional forensic studies by the Armed Forces Medical Examiner's unit that were obtained by The Times indicate that about 340 American troops have died solely from torso wounds," the report added.

You do the math.
