Just when I started to think this morning on my way into work: "I haven't heard from Congress about the funding for the troops lately.", I run across this little article telling Nancy Pelosi to get back to work.
General Peter Schoomaker, United States Army Chief of Staff, has written that, "without approval of the supplemental funds in April, we will be forced to take increasingly draconian measures which will impact Army readiness and impose hardships on our Soldiers and their families." Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has also emphasized the dangers of delay: "This kind of disruption to key programs will have a genuinely adverse effect on the readiness of the Army and the quality of life for soldiers and their families."
Let's see how the Democrats want to spin this one. My bet is that they will say "well we GAVE you a spending bill that you could have signed". The probable response will be "you gave me extra garbage at a time when you're complaining about the federal deficit and the national debt, but you added on unacceptable additional spending" Time will tell.
