I thank an active member of the fiscally responsible Blue Dog Democrat Coalition, the gentlewoman from Illinois, Melissa Bean, for being a part of this discussion this evening to talk about the Blue Dog Coalition's resolution to demand accountability for how tax money is being spent in Iraq, just as we do here at home through our Blue Dog 12-point plan for budget reform.
