“We’re all for Congress paying close attention to what it
spends. But would that our honorable representatives were applying as
much skepticism to the fine print of, say, the energy bill as they are
to President Bush’s $87 billion request for operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan.“
There’s one interesting point in this article that the author
dismisses. Representative Zach Wamp (who’s he?) is proposing that $20.3
billion be a loan to the Iraqi people. They would then pay us back from
their oil revenues. Sounds like a good idea to me. I’ve advocated something similar in the past.
