Our senators are proposing even more, so we go to conference to figure out the appropriate amount and whether or not and to what degree it should be paid for. I hope its all paid for. It should be because we have the funds to do that. So to suggest that theres some sort of failure of funding is simply not true. And my friends know its not true. To suggest were not willing to put the money here would suggest that recent history has no relevance because we put more money here than the president asked us to put and we committed to put even more going forward. So i would the only difference here and what drives my friends into a frenzy is that we actually want to pay for this. They simply dont.

So we come up past the American Civil War through the reconstruction period ending in 1876. By the 1920s cotton had failed because of overgrowth and lack of fertlization and in gave the weevil and savannah was back to being poor.
