I don't want to misinterpret your post.

I think Bunky is talking about how comparatively small the amount of loan money requested is, in comparison to the amount we're spending on the war in Iraq.No one is talking about dishonoring our servicemen and women in any way.

I will say that it's frustrating to see billions of dollars go to rebuilding Iraq, when the Iraqi's have about a $100 billion surplus from selling oil, and then regardless of who is responsible for what company's past mistakes, we have some of our fellow Americans get uppity about preventing other Americans from becoming unemployed.
