[Vision2020] State Budget Deficits

[Tom Hansen]

Care to share a link to this "AUFM" that you reference, g?

I googled "AUFM" and all I hit upon ws . . . well, look for yourself.

However, I didi have better luck in the Library of Congress while searhing
for House Joint Resolution 114 of 2002, which is NOT a declaration of war.

HJR 114 is an authorization for the use of military force against Iraq,
introduced and sponsored by Rep. Hastert (R-IL), then interim Speaker of
the House, and Rep. Gephart (D-MO), then House Minority Leader.

It was NOT a declaration of war.  To put it bluntly, it was the product of
patriotic fervor, of whose flames were fanned by George Bush.  Or don't
you remember King George standing in the midst of first responders at
"Ground Zero" so proudly exclaiming (after one of the fire fighters stated
that he couldn't hear Bush), "I Hear you and soon they will hear you!" (as
he pointed in the general direction of the Mid-East.

Enough for this history lesson, ok g?
