But what surprises me is that I didn’t hear Rush, Sean, Laura and the other conservative talking heads go after this one like they did the first one. Or did I miss it?
How many more of these is in the works currently? I know they will be having more, but are there any more that are about to be voted on right now?

You missed something. Hannity was talking about it. This is their budget that was raised 8 percent. 8 percent is alot more then inflation. Next year all the pork is already in this so they can keep the budget and it will look like they are not adding any more pork. What a scam Also, next week the Senate will be doing the same thing. BEND OVER FOLKS CAUSE WE ARE SO SCR****

You nailed it. Lord Obama is running up a huge deficit right away and will back off the closer we get to the next election. That way he can claim to have "reduced the deficit", and his sycophants in the MSM will sing his praises for being "fiscally responsible". Meanwhile, the national debt (the summation of every annual deficit) will continue to go up and up and up.

The last Republican deficit was in 2007 and amounted to $160.7B, according to the GAO. PLUS, the war is off budget, so it doesn’t add to the deficit.

they amount to $3.8 billion OUT OF 410B.

Good point. Now the question I have is what increase was this over last year.

Because you can create 13 million jobs that pay 15 dollars/hour with 400B.
