...but before I attack a baseless strawman...

Good to know you haven't already made up your mind... :rollseyes:

Feel free to attack away. I don't GARA. Seems to be your normal M.O.

...would you mind showing me which part of the bill you're referring to?

It is in the first section. Do a search on "Filipino". It is a straight handout to Filipino veterans (those still alive) apparently intended to right a wrong committed by our government 60 years ago. Apparently we reneged on a promise.

I'm not saying that it is necessarily a bad thing to do, but it dam sure ain't a "stimulus" and should have been done through normal channels, not tacked onto a bill of such purported importance.
