Dana Rohrabacher: “The American people should pay close attention to what their Representatives are doing and should contact their…”

“The American people should pay close attention to what their Representatives are doing and should contact their Representatives if they believe that if we are going to give $18.6 billion away, it should be in the form of a loan which will be repaid once Iraq, which could be one of the richest oil producing countries in the world, gets back on its feet. It should repay that $18.6 billion. We should not just be giving it as a gift. The Rohrabacher amendment insists that it be given as a loan instead of a gift and that it be repaid. And if the Rohrabacher amendment is not permitted, if it is ruled out of order, I will move the next Rohrabacher amendment, which would be to cut that $18.6 billion from the request. And within a matter of days, the administration will come back with it in the form of a loan. If you do not want to give away this money, if you want your children not to have to repay this money that we are borrowing in deficit spending, vote for the Rohrabacher amendment.”
