And here is what disturbs me the very most about this burn rate: while the administration throws good money after bad in Iraq. it wants to roll back health coverage for kids right here in America. Those are the wrong priorities. They are the wrong values. Lets ask ourselves what are we getting for our $10 billion a month. We are getting an Iraq Government that isnt meeting any of the benchmarks. We are contributing to a refugee crisis that has already forced at least 4 million Iraqis out of their homes with tens of thousands leaving every month. And we are stretching our military to the breaking point. Today. the Army announced that in June it missed its recruitment goal for the second month in a row.
