Bill Delahunt: “Is paying for the budget for the United States of America, with all our responsibilities, all of the issues that we are…”

On the recordMarch 9, 2004
Is paying for the budget for the United States of America, with all our responsibilities, all of the issues that we are concerned about here domestically and internationally, and then the American taxpayer is also paying the budget for Iraq. I really hope that we do not find ourselves in a situation where we will be coming to the floor with a third budget. The gentleman from Michigan earlier talked about what transpired these past several weeks in Haiti. I can imagine that we will have to provide humanitarian assistance, but are we also going to be picking up additional budgets as we go?
