We keep hearing that the pork in the bill is 1% of the total. Tonight while channel flipping MSNBC, Maddow, had a reporterette on that said even Senator Jim Webb is upset with this "stimulus" bill quoting him as saying there is at least 100 billion of costs that do not belong in this bill. No vote tonight. Harry Reid was "mistaken" about having the votes. Dems are losing moderate Democratic Senators on this bill.
And gives his gun to a friend to carry into the capitol building, then throws him under the bus when the guy gets caught.
He used AF-1 to fly 131 miles to attend a Congressional Democratic retreat. Wonder who is picking up the tab for the retreat? Ironic this is happening at the same time the government is telling companies to cancel junkets.
Make public if any RINO’s go for that!!!!
This bill has to be SCRAPPED and areal stimulus bill.
I read that there were around $400,000,000,000 in ‘tax cuts’ but I suspect that some of those are the welfare payments to people who don’t pay taxes.
Good God! Can’t stand him, never knew THAT.
Don’t worry. If any stink is raised over the retreat, Zero will claim he doesn’t know anything about it.
I want this to pass, and then have our crash tied exclusively to the Dems. It’s ugly for the country, but needs to happen for our long-term survival.”
Yes, it is the only thing we got left.
Obama rants and raves about the excesses of Wall St CEOs.
He goes on tv almost hourly telling the American people how dire and precarious our lives are.
And then he brags about having an excuse to short hop on AF1 as if he was taking a test drive at the Prius dealer.
Tonight he was tone deaf , agitated, unpresidential and nasty.
No vote tonight. Harry Reid was "mistaken" about having the votes. Dems are losing moderate Democratic Senators on this bill.
Is this your speculation, or was this reported???
LLS
Thank God there are some D’s that actually think.
I’m with you. I posted the following on another thread:
And he took AIR FORCE ONE!!!
The distance from Wash ro Williamburg is about 150 miles. Why did he not take one of his three helicopters?? No, instead he probably racked up plus $200K in costs for security, flight and special seats for his friends and, in the process, actually took longer to get there!
More of the same from our elected royalty!
My wife and I were ranting about that today. Irritated the ever living hell out of me that we're about to blow this deficit to the moon.
Now that I think about it. The moon race only cost about $237billion. Ok, we're gonna shoot this deficit to Saturn.
I'm quite curious how the tax cuts and massive welfare checks will compare to the expiration of the Bush tax cuts that are around the corner.
Is that pic photoshopped?
Don’t waste any opportunities to remind liberals that the democrats could pass this any time they want but haven’t.
Not sure but I think there was some doubt about it.
In my opinion, it is. The hog is blurred and the boy is not.
It is a real picture and real story.
Mmmmm.....bacon
Kind of like a picture of the moon between your index finger and thumb.
If a Dem says it has $100 Billion in fat, then we know that this bill must actually be 99.9% fat (which it is).
