On the recordMarch 9, 2004
We understand and I continue to hear the word ``recovery.'' We know it is a jobless recovery, but it is not a jobless recovery for those who live in Iraq. It is a lot of no-show jobs going on over in Iraq. And as we discussed in our last session, certain individuals are doing very well by the American taxpayers. There is a budget for Iraq, and there is a budget for the United States; and they are both being paid for by the American taxpayer.
