"House Democrats are obviously no longer content just to give away trillions to failing American businesses," says Carter. "They now want to give away over a hundred billion to the IMF to fund bankrupt overseas business interests. And to attempt to do so as an earmark on legislation specifically to support our armed forces in a time of war is an insult to both our men and women in uniform and the taxpayers."

"President Obama is currently doing a good job in continuing the handoff to Iraqi forces while surging in Afghanistan," says Carter. "We can’t let the wild spending spree of House Democrats block the bipartisan progress we’re making towards victory in both theaters, and this kind of legislative outrage threatens just that."

Republican Conference Secretary John Carter (R-TX) today blasted attempts by House Democrats to give $108 billion in taxpayer bailout money to the International Monetary Fund, as an earmark in the Emergency War Funding Bill to support U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
