Bill Lee said "He is totally incorrect, first of all, and I think that $3.50 example explains why he's incorrect. It is about priorities, Congresswoman Tubbs Jones. It is about where we put our tax dollars. Do we care about securing the future of our country? Do we care about our children's future? And that is what this is about. He has asked for $190 billion, as I said earlier, to continue to fund this occupation in Iraq. Well, I would think that a pittance of that money, when we know how much this would cost, would go to cover our children. And our children deserve it." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
