2011-02-21
They're ahead of the U.S. Congress...
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Iraqi parliament on Sunday unanimously approved IraqÂ’s federal state budget for the year 2011, ending its session to convene on Monday after voting over all items in the budget, an Iraqi legislator said.

“Debates over all the items of the 2011 state budget were completed in today’s session,” Alaa Mikki, a lawmaker from al-Iraqiya bloc, told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

The Iraqi cabinet had approved in a session on Feb. 2 the final draft budget for the year 2011.

Ahmed al-Abbasi, a member of the National Alliance, said the parliament also decided to distribute the 20% surplus from the budget over citizens in the form of grants.
