Bill Delahunt: “I bet that that $50 billion will come to the floor of this House in November or December, sometime after the election…”

On the recordMarch 9, 2004
I bet that that $50 billion will come to the floor of this House in November or December, sometime after the election because, clearly, that $50 billion is going to exacerbate the deficit. It is a debt. But maybe I am wrong. Maybe the White House will insist on doing the right thing and being honest and forthcoming with the American people and tell us the true cost of where we are.
