“This is a misleading thread...The vote was on quorum and NOT of the bill”
It is because many of us are still confused about where we are at this moment what is about to happen.
We need 2 of three to changes their votes...I could care less about the small details (although e-verify and the healthcare portions are important).
The important part is that this converts us to Socialism/Marxism from here on out with an uncontrollable debt service of borrowed funds that makes everyone DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT. Every aspect of your life is regulated, taxed and overseen by some type of bureaucracy related to government...taxes, environmental studies, business laws, minimum wage requirements, Sarbanes-Oxley, mark-to-market accounting, insurance, disclosure, even taxes on food, cigarettes, mileage, carbon emissions, disposal of batteries and oil...
No borders. Foreign nationals are suing private citizens when they are stopped invading private property.
Obama has given $20 million to settle refugees from the Gaza Strip in the US with Hamas ties.
He wants to meet with Iran; dismantly Gitmo; reduce military spending and cozy up to Russia, China and Venezuela.
This porkulus package makes it impossible for us to dig out of our hole...people do not understand that more labor unions, more socialized medicine and PC-based corporate and public sector promotion is the end of prosperity.
No tax breaks for business, only refunds for those who didn’t pay in the first place.
This is a major f’ing disaster that will DWARF the New Deal, which took the largest armed conflict in the world’s history for 5 years to undo.
Obama is a lying Kenyan who used Soros and friends to make the run on money markets in September which caused the collapse, it was on Rush today.
I am pissed.
Go to the link. This is the bill itself.
