Mr. President, just last year, we passed an unlimited appropriation for the 9/11 responders. I do believe they do deserve our help, but we amassed an unlimited appropriation for 70 years. As much money as can possibly be spent in 70 years was made available last year. We are in the midst of a $1.7 trillion bill, and yet we have got to add another billion. Is there no end to the amount of money you think we can print without repercussions? I urge a ``no'' vote.
