That isn't the issue. No one bothered to figure it out. The GOP decided to give them the money. Whether they could pay a loan or not was quickly swept under the table. It is the issue, and the debt burden already on Iraq has been mentioned as a reason for grants not loans by Bush and other people in the administration. I am very surprised that you would defend this position. I am assuming its an act of partisanship because there can be no other reason. In structuring the loan, we could have made it as benign as we wanted.........the terms could have been generous and not onerous. The point would be that one day we would get paid back and that we would not be throwing good $$$ after bad. I am disgusted with your attitude and that of the Congress. In the past, conservatives have slashed and burned social programs. When? Name one time since WWII. What does it matter? You, like the rest of the conservatives on this thread, will make believe its not true and deny that it happened. ted
