"The administration has a disturbing pattern of behavior when it comes to budgeting not only for the ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan but also for military requirements not directly related to these conflicts"
- Russ Feingold
About this Quote
This quote by Russ Feingold recommends that the administration has a worrying practice of assigning funds for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as for other military needs that are not directly related to these disputes. This indicates that the administration is not being fiscally accountable with the budget, and is instead utilizing funds for purposes that are not always associated to the disputes in Iraq and Afghanistan. This could be viewed as an abuse of taxpayer money, and might be a sign of a bigger issue with the administration's budgeting practices. It is necessary to ensure that the administration is using funds properly and efficiently, and this quote acts as a warning that this may not be the case.
