Mr. Speaker. the Office of Refugee Resettlement wants $238 million for Iraqi prisoners of war. That works out to $7.000 each. Unbelievable. American veterans from the Persian Gulf war cant get a job. American veterans benefits are being cut. 47 million Americans without health insurance. record bankruptcies. and Uncle Sam wants to give $238 million to Iraqi soldiers that opposed us in the gulf. Beam me up. I say if we have $238 million. lets take a look at Cleveland. Chicago. New York. Detroit. and use some of that money here. I say let us give the taxpayers a break. not the Iraqi soldiers.
