What is our policy? We are sleepwalking into an escalation. That has failed us before. We have to have that debate now. Where is the money coming from? $150 billion is just going to magically appear. No discussion about that. And this bill does not acknowledge the absolute vital importance of domestic and diplomatic programs to our national security. I applaud the committee and the chairman and the ranking member for some very good work they did. I criticize us in Congress for putting the straitjacket on them so they can't do the job right.
