While we're at it...sseems to me that it's not their money, either. All those
billions are going to have to come from somewhere...and probably a lot of it
will originate in Washington, and that has to get through the House, which
isn't yet controlled by His Highness's party. Does anybody know the details of
where the money is expected to be coming from, through which committees, etc.?
Or is that unknown until after the approval process is finished? If the thing
gets approved but not funded, we still win, don't we?
