Bill Lee said "A Washington Post report in 2016 exposed a report detailing $125 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse. Yet we are increasing this by $80 billion; not to mention that much of this funding is dedicated to continuing the endless wars that we are waging around the world; wars that, I might add, Congress has still not debated, voted on, or authorized. Put simply, the defense spending will be the single largest increase for the Pentagon since the beginning of the Bush so-called war on terror. What is worse, this bill also fails to protect our young Dreamers who are still stuck in limbo. DACA recipients are American in every way, except on paper. When are we going to vote to protect our young people, Mr. Speaker? It is time to put politics aside and pass a clean Dream Act immediately." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
