I wish you were right. The fiscal year of the federal govt runs from October 1 - September 30. This funding will only last through September 30.

OK let us pose simple arithmetic.

The war in Iraq cost 2 billions dollars a week, thus 100 billion dollars funds means it will last 50 weeks. If by June the President sign the new 100 billion bill which has no surrender date, then this bill will last till June of 2008.
