GOP Talkers on Emergency War Funding

JUNE 16, 2009
  • An emergency war funding bill should be about war funding.
  • Democrats cut money for our troops in order to fund a global bailout for the IMF.  We should not pass a global bailout on the backs of our soldiers.
  • Iran is eligible to receive $1.8 billion in guaranteed IMF assets through the bill.
  • Our military should not be held as political pawns to advance more wasteful spending by Washington.
  • Since Democrats took control of Congress in 2007 non-defense spending has increased by 85 percent.
  • The Democrat leadership should bring forward a war funding bill that funds our troops, without wasteful spending.
