Is this the most effective way? And will we accidentally create a problem potentially bigger than the problem that we went in to solve? Secondly. this is not about refugee aid. We should be having a separate vote on refugee aid. not refugee aid serving as a cover for military appropriations for a continuing war. All of us agree that the economies of Albania and Macedonia have been devastated by being unable to continue their trade not only with Serbia but the other countries around them. by handling the refugees that come in. by having a general collapse of their economies by their openness. We need to give aid for the refugees. we need to give aid to those countries. That is not what this supplemental appropriations bill is about next week. That is merely wrapping with it. We will give refugee aid. we will give aid to those countries. but I believe it should happen after we have a settlement there. Thirdly. this is not about replacing military preparedness. This President has already proven that whatever we appropriate. he diverts to the war.
