Rep. Rahm Emanuel: “I know this sounds horribly rude and sarcastic, but could David Kay be appointed to coordinate these two budgets…”

I know this sounds horribly rude and sarcastic, but could David Kay be appointed to coordinate these two budgets together? I mean, he is available after all. If one looks at this, $44 million in community development projects including child care centers and youth centers in Iraq. $44 million for child care and youth centers. The President's budget for the United States, a funding freeze for all child care programs for helping parents who want to go to work and put their kids at places that are safe and secure. And it is projected to climb to $53 million in 2006. That is a fascinating way to leave no child behind in Iraq. I wonder what the strategy is behind that.
