“I am wondering how is it these leaders seem to think that spending is very important when it comes to funding the reconstruction of Iraq-- which ran through here like a big old truck in fifth gear--but when it comes to spending here at home to help people, in this case helping family farmers through a real tough time, they say we don't know that we can do that. They are going to dig in our heels. The Senate passed disaster relief for farmers. We also supported disaster relief for the victims of hurricanes. I have never in all the time I have been in Congress opposed disaster relief for those who have been victims.”
