Hearing before the Committee On Oversight And Government Reform
February 6, 2007

“I might also, for the committee, put into perspective what $12 billion is. It certainly seems like a lot of money when you put it in hundred dollar bills and put it on forklifts and put into C–130’s, but I think when you look at a country of more than 15 million people and a period of 15 months, you are really talking about $600 per person per year. I think when the American people look at the volume of human beings that were without an economy as a result of the toppling of Saddam, I think they will more accurately look
at less than $1,000 per man, woman and child in that region would certainly be considered to be a measured amount to be spent.

No doubt there is fraud, abuse and waste. No doubt money ended up in somebody’s pocket. But I might note for all of us that as we looked over Katrina, done in our own country within our own boundaries under a system that we all see used time and time again, we were giving $2,000 debit cards that ended up buying color TVs at K-Mart.

Although I certainly look forward to the testimony and I have no doubt that there has been some waste, I also hope that we put this in perspective.” - Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)

3. I have a good question for Cenk. I want to know whose idea it was

to take out ACORN just in time to leave all those working class homeowners at the mercy of predatory loan servicers who ran illegal foreclosures all over their too-poor-to-hire-a-lawyer lives.

Because that's what ACORN did, help THOSE people with foreclosures.

And don't tell me it was that idiot in the video tapes. He isn't smart enough to unwrap a sandwich.
