C-SPAN Newsmaker: How To Fund The Iraq War
October 16, 2007, 7:09pm
Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan, the top Republican on the House Budget Committee, dismissed the idea of a special tax to pay for the Iraq war and discussed other budget and economic issues in this week’s episode of C-SPAN’s “Newsmaker” program.
“I don’t support the war tax,” Ryan said. “I think that’s a very wrong-headed thing to do.” But he added that to the extent the United States can budget for military efforts, the Bush administration for budget for it rather than coming back to Congress repeatedly and seeking supplemental spending outside the normal annual budget.
