Randy Kuhl has been posting "Budget Crisis" updates on his blog. The "crisis" is due to the Congress failing to pass all appropriations bills before October 1, the start of the new fiscal year.
Today's entry calls out Veterans' and Defense appropriations for special attention. Kuhl says "Our veterans and our troops must be a top priority for this Congress". It's good that Kuhl wrote "this Congress", because in the most recent comparable term of Congress, the first session of the 109th, the
Defense Appropriation bill for the next fiscal year did not pass the House until December 19.
I looked through Kuhl's web site and didn't see any complaints about making our troops almost the last priority during his first term in Congress.
