In addition to the earmarks, the Senate omnibus spending bill also contains provisions totaling over $1 billion that will help fund Obamacare’s implementation. About $81 million will go to the Department of Health and Human Services for costs related to the enforcing the mandate and the new health care regulations. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will receive $176 million to finance starting the Medicaid expansion and the costs associated with the Medicare Advantage cuts. The National Health Care Workforce Commission, which was created by Obamacare, will nab $3 million.
This is crazy. Time to go back to work folks. Cram the phones tomorrow!!!!
They are trying to make sure Obamacare is funded before new congress comes in.
I’m surprised they don’t just ram down a 10 trillion dollar porkulus package while they are at it. Evil bastards.
I think the bill also includes a large land grab.
My goodness! There must be more than “vote them out of office” that we can do for this outright robbery. The Republicans who voted for this - aside from those already fired by Republican voters - should be marked for defeat at the next turn. Except of MooKowski of Alaska, which the Alaskan voters wrote in to office, she needs to marginalized by Republicans and considered for the RINO she is.
There is over 300 billion in porkulus spending and extensions to the earlier porkulus and son of porkulus.
I hope the TEA Party is in overdrive! I’ve let Paul Ryan know that we expect him to vote against this even if it means the Bush tax cuts expire. Clean up the mess in January.
I have to say I received emails daily from the Tea Party prior to election, have not received one to date. Has anyone else? Ive not heard a peep
Don’t give the enemy any ideas.
it does.. they will own the Southern Border with Mexfuco via Gov’t Idiocy.
I really loathe these people, they cannot disappear fast enough!
Idiots all.

Yes, elections have consequences...but apparently not the ones we thought. (Yes, I know the new congress isn’t sworn in....Does that mean these guys can just lie down until next month?)
I wish they’d “disappear” in the South American sense of the word....
Sorry for double post!
Followers are free to act accordingly.
I’m just going to make it a tagline.
