Reid threatens to keep Congress into next year

 

 

[color:red]New spending bill totals $575.13 million per page[/color] :surprised:

 

 

 

Forget about going quietly into the night.

 

Senate Democrats on Tuesday unveiled a broad agenda for an end-of-session sprint that, in other years, could be a whole year's worth of activity  ranging from an arms-reduction treaty with Russia to a major immigration bill to overturning the ban on gay troops.

 

And that's not to mention the nearly 2,000-page, $1.1 trillion massive spending bill Senate Democrats said they'll try to push through. The bill contains hundreds of pork-barrel spending projects and new rules governing everything from airport baggage to detainees at the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

 

"We're not through. Congress ends on Jan. 4," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrap.

 

The omnibus spending bill is likely to get the most attention, spanning 1,924 pages and spending an average of $575.13 million per page.

 

It stands in contrast to the House, which last week passed a streamlined bill freezing fiscal 2011 government spending at 2010's level. The Senate bill, though, boosts spending by $16 billion  a tough sell at a time when deficits and debt already are dominating the policy debate in Washington.

 

[color:red]In some cases the spending bill not only rejects President Obama's proposed cuts, it actually boosts spending.[/color] For example, Mr. Obama earlier this year told Congress to cut funding for the health and welfare package targeting Mississippi's Delta region, which in 2010 received about $26 million. But the Senate bill includes funding and actually increases it to nearly $35 million in 2011.

But "ethics" isn't part of a lib's vocabulary. How many ways was it necessary to explain it to Charlie Rangel and, now, Maxine Waters?

Funny thing is that the Dems call out their own and if a member is doing something not good, they bust them for it very publicly. Hence Rangel and Waters.

 

However, the GOP does not do such a thing, and just sweeps any & all under the rug. Too many to list (the dozen K Street lads, Ensign, etc.). This Hudson thing was just the latest. The GOPers actually want to kill or severely downsize the ethics committee now that they are in charge (gee, there's a surprise!): http://www.congress.org/news/2010/12/02/watchdogs_urge_gop_not_to_downsize_ethics_office

 

You tell me who has the ethics. And no, the answer is NOT they are both the same.

Flash...not sure if your clip was an intentional employment of symbolism or not. However, the nature of politicians and dancing whores is not much different. Both are sponsored by "special interests" (unions, corporations, associations by politicians; bar owners and foreign sponsors by the dancers.) Politicians and whores are well-known for often promising one thing and doing quite the opposite. In most cases, the voters and "johns" get fucked.
