Debate Continues on Amendments to Stimulus Bill Today
Senators continue debate on amendments to H.R. 1, the economic stimulus package. Law- makers have approved amendments to the bill that raises the estimated cost over $900 billion
Vote to be expected after 3PM Eastern time
That picture makes my stomach turn!
Agreed!!
Beck is on too early.
8 RINO’s working with Dirty Harry to pass porkulus mentioned during his speech, that was news to me.
Exactly. This is nuts.
The whole problem with the thinking is that the Keynesian approach is to ‘boost economic activity’. Okay, but what is the purpose of economic activity? To add to our wealth.
If the boosted economic activity is a HUGE WASTE OF MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD NOT SPEND EVEN IN NORMAL TIMES, then why do it when times are tight? It makes not a lick of sense.
$600 million for this, billions for energy boondoggles, billions for HHS over-spending.... all it does is waste money and make us poorer longterm.
The only ‘stimulus’ spending that makes sense is those things that we know up front are more than worthwhile and would be funded in normal times and are affordable.
But most of the ‘stimulus’ has to be about stimulating the private sector, not the govt sector. And that means tax and regulatory relief.
I missed that part. 8?
Huge mistake!
OMG!!
Breaking news:
OBAMA IS GOING TO DROP CHARGES ON USS COLE BOMBING MASTERMIND!!
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2179279/posts
He also said he wants to outlaw polls...what a fascist!
They are all fascists! We tried to warn America. Nobody was listening. Now Obama is going to drop all charges on the USS COLE MASTERMIND!
That’s what I thought, but the poster made it sound as if DeMint wanted restrictions.
Anything that will actually help the economy is being rejected. Do you think people have just given up and want to drive this country into the ground? Atlas shrugged style?
My immediate reaction: IMPEACH THE SOB.
He has a constitutional duty to protect and defend the USA.
He is failing in his basic duty.
He is a treasonous snake!!
Boxer (with blonde hair) said an agreement has been reached on how to proceed tonight.
A lot of back slapping and congratulations going around...
I agree.
Everyday...more breaking news of Obama’s plans to destroy our country! Going to run around the neighborhood before my head explodes! Be back later to watch the senate action.
I'd much rather he replace Shep at 7:00. His having two shows a day is far too much Shep for me. Frankly if foxnews wanted to really appeal to their audience they'd rerun a Beck show on Saturday and cancel Whorealdo.
We need that pic of Boxer with the skunk on her head...lol.
Placemarking...be back in a bit.
