That is all they have left. Yet all you are offering them is a chance to go into debt for the rest of their lives. If they are only 25 now these loans will still not be paid out when these debtridden refugees die. The committee raised the warning that we have got to be concerned about the magnitude of our public debt. I have been worrying about that. too. I have been raising a warning. too. No one seemed to heed me when I protested against drain off of our wealth to send it overseas. Why is it raised now when we want to help these people while in the last 6 years you have been spending billions upon billions of dollars aiding war refugees? Now you worry about the effect on the public debt of a few million dollars for the refugees from these ravaging floodwaters. If this great Nation can break precedents as it has been breaking them for the last 20 years. certainly it could break a precedent here to help people who now cannot help themselves. The greatet of all flood disasters did not stop because -it was breaking a precedent.
