More Funding for the War in Iraq

Rep. Ron Paul / Texas Straight Talk:
Last week the House passed an emergency supplemental spending bill that was the worst of all worlds. The president’s request would have already set a spending record, but the Democratic leadership packed 21 billion additional dollars of mostly pork barrel spending in attempt to win Democrat votes. The total burden on the American taxpayer for this bill alone will be an astonishing 124 billion dollars. Democrats promised to oppose the war by adding more money to fight the war than even the president requested. I am pleased to have joined with the majority of my Republican colleagues to oppose this bill.
