Yes, that is how I read it as well. Those who are griping can stay on their thread. They are arguing about whether foreign aid is constitutional or not. Probably not, but we are stuck with it and at least let's make it accountable.

The "all or nothing" crowd wear me out.

By the way, it took a great deal of confidence to bring up both World Wars, the rise of Hitler, and Ronald Reagan's phrase to Gorbachev in a speech to the Germans. He subtly reminded them how many of our people died in those wars and I think this was pretty good.

I wonder why no congressperson or senator has introduced a bill to eliminate all foreign aid? Oh, do you suppose that is because it would never even get a hearing?

So, back to reality. I appreciate the fact that this president is trying to do this business differently. In fact, it reminds me of the recent messages to Castro. It's a shape up or ship out approach.
