Marsha Blackburn: “And there again you see that we are increasing that. We are increasing the Department of the Interior programs, but we…”

On the recordDecember 17, 2007
And there again you see that we are increasing that. We are increasing the Department of the Interior programs, but we are not funding our troops. We see increased funding for the IRS. They are going from $10.60 billion to $10.89 billion, and it is an increase of $295.3 million or 2.8 percent over their fiscal year 2007 numbers. So we are going to increase money for the IRS, but we are not going to get that money to our troops.
