So they are just playing a sordid game of hollow amendments. bogus alternatives. and nothing constructive. They took our cuts. and added to them a 5year freezenever mind the flood in the Midwest--costing $8 billion. $9 billion. and never mind practical considerations such as paying for an expansion of prisons and law enforcement. I am wrestling now with an appropriations bill trying to find an additional $130 million for immigration. Border Patrol. to get on top of that. for internal security so terrorists will not be blowing up the World Trade Center and other landmarks. for Somalia. for Bosnia. for all the peacekeeping operations that have gone up to a billion bucks. So they preached grandly: "We are going to have a 5year freeze." It was just fabricated out of the whole cloth. Nothing in the Finance Committee. no motion. just. by gosh. a fullcourt press on TV on the floor of the U.S.
