Maybe they should try $40 million. (via Atrios)
Tucked away in fine print in the military spending bill for this past year was a lump sum of $20 million to pay for a celebration in the nation’s capital “for commemoration of success” in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not surprisingly, the money was not spent.
Now Congressional Republicans are saying, in effect, maybe next year. A paragraph written into spending legislation and approved by the Senate and House allows the $20 million to be rolled over into 2007.

Instead of an earmark, this specific allocation could perhaps be called a toetag

Seems like a lot of money. I mean, they’ve already made a nice Mission Accomplished Banner–can’t they just re-use that one?

And people say the administration failed to plan for after the military victory…
