Congressman Dennis Kucinich
Washington, June 16, 2009
Congressman Dennis Kucinich D-OH today made the following statement against the war supplemental on the House floor:
“We are destroying our nation’s moral and fiscal integrity with this war supplemental. Instead of ending wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan now by appropriating only enough money to bring our troops home, Congress abdicates its constitutional authority, defers to the president, and asks for a report. That’s right, all we are asking for is a report on when the president will end the war.
“There is also money for the IMF, presumably to bail out private European banks. Billions for the IMF so they can force low and middle income nations to cut jobs, wages, health care and retirement security, just like corporate America does to our constituents.
“And there’s money to incentivize the purchase of more cars, not necessarily from U.S. manufacturers because a ‘Buy America’ mandate was not allowed.
“Another $106 billion dollars and all we get is a lousy war. Pretty soon that is going to be about the only thing made in America – war.”
