Senate passes enormous $410 billion pork-laden Omnibus bill!
The Daily Change ^ | 03112009 | TDC

Posted on 03/11/2009 8:04:30 AM PDT by TheDailyChange

When Obama signs this bloated piece of legislation as he is expected to do, he will be putting another nail in our nation’s economic coffin, breaking his much professed campaign promises of NO EARMARKS - “And when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.”

And Obama continually refers to this as “Bush’s Bill”, even thought it was passed by a Democrat-controlled congress and Bush vowed to veto it.

He's probably a "speed reader".

New move: Obama’s Billions

Ever see Brewster's Millions?

Or we could call it Obama’s Trillions.

Will Obama be able to spend all of our children's and grand children's money before the next election? Watch Obama’s Trillions to find out!

Not just passed, legislation is WRITTEN by Congress, regardless it requires a president's signature to make it law.

The fact that Barry signed it is expected. He’s a Liar like all “progressives”. What is still slightly surprising is that Republicans still don’t get it. I guess a depression is necessary to remove the possibility of pursuing short term political interest to the detriment of the country. When there’s no money to spend anymore, they will finally stop spending it.

As long as they have access to a printer to print new money, there will ALWAYS be more money!

I don’t think so, he is the one who has been against the “generational theft from the beginning. Heard him on the same news show speaking against.

Good point, but I guess when I refer to “money”, I mean something of value. They may have plenty of dollar bills, but they won’t be able to spend them because someone has to agree that they have value.
