Roy Blunt: “I think it's clear that a significant majority of this Congress knew…”

On the recordNovember 9, 2007

I think it's clear that a significant majority of this Congress knew last year that we wouldn't have wanted this to happen. But for some reason we still apparently wanted to commit to spend the money that would occur if it did happen. So we are taking money we don't have today, this $50 billion or $70 billion, I think I am hearing two different numbers here, money we don't have today and assuming that we have got to replace it tomorrow to have not stepped backwards. This is money we did not collect this year. But we are saying we have to have this.
