http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?p=990Caucus Chairman Emanuel on Senator McConnell’s Budget Proposal
December 11th, 2007 by Jesse Lee
Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel issued the following statement in response to Senator McConnell’s proposal to reach a budget deal by cutting domestic spending, but funding the Iraq war, Iraq reconstruction, and earmarks:
“First Mitch McConnell sides with the White House and insists on a blank check for Iraq. Now he’s fighting for earmarks over funding for cancer cures, the veterans’ health care crisis, and 50,000 new American teachers. Under Senator McConnell’s budget proposal, Iraq and his own re-election campaign would come first, while America’s health care and education needs would come last. When the American people called for change in 2006, it was not to maintain the status quo in Iraq and the status quo in Washington.”
