Charles Boustany: “Again, Agriculture spending is what we're talking about. But if we're spending excessive money in this Ag appropriations…”

On the recordJuly 31, 2007
Again, Agriculture spending is what we're talking about. But if we're spending excessive money in this Ag appropriations bill, it's going to hurt what we can do to take care of our seniors. Again, 3,246 seniors in the Louisiana Seventh Congressional District are going to be hurt by this situation. If we look at the SCHIP situation that we're faced with, we're going to have problems with cuts because we don't have money available because of the Agriculture bill.
