"Foreign Aid Restoration Bill

The Foreign Aid Reduction Act (F.L. 10-4) is hereby repealed. Funding is restored to 2004 levels."

Did I spell it wrong?  Oops

Nice decorum in the senate btw.  Anyway, yes, to weigh ourselves down in foreign debts is absurd.  If anything in this time of economic hardship the last thing we can do is give more money to foreign nations.  My amendment will save the country $6.5 billion, an amount that seems small but is a good start.

I couldn't give a damn about the spelling. I'm talking about the meaning.

I doubt it. They'll be afraid he'll annoy them to death, then take over.

What about my friendly amendment, Al? And what about my quibbles with your bill?

The amendment does nothing but change the text to include a bill reference, the rest is just debate, correct?

I am not sure I want to support more foreign aid, unless I know where it is going, and for what. I am not a blank check kind of guy.

It also removes a pointless section number and adds a period at the end. Stop trying to play down my contributions to Atlasian society! Angry
