Notwithstanding the number of times this has been posted but,

Drunken swine-—bloody ‘ell pirates plundering America.
Off with their flippin’ heads.

Spending ourselves out of a country.

“The same people who drove the economy into the ditch are now complaining about the size of the tow truck,” said Rep. James McGovern, D-Mass., pointing out the large increase in deficits that President George W. Bush and GOP-controlled Congresses amassed.”

The liars have successfully stuck this on the republicans (even when they had control of the house in 2006) and the lemmings believe it. They will spend their way into buying every vote they can. It’s over, they can laugh their way to hell!

16 Republicans voted for this thing, while 20 Dems voted against.

We have to stop the bleeding in 2010!

Overall, the legislation would provided increases of roughly 8 percent for the federal agencies it covered, about $32 billion more than last year.

While those footing the bill resort to cost-cutting measures, government agencies get an increase at twice the inflation rate for 2008.

In my business, no customers are buying. I have to tell my folks that there is no work, and fewer days of work a week, but the federal social worker gets new office equipment and a raise.

One way remains for we the people to stop this insanity.

[absolootezer0]

lets see, the deficit is around $10trilion, right?
at the way the gov’t is spending money ($1.2T/ month), couldn’t we have just paid that off by Christmas?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Good thing money grows on trees.

...bristled with earmarks...

Hey, hey, HEY!! Define earmark, please! One man's earmark is another man's...spending appropriation...or something like that....

Seriously, the dems can't help themselves. Kids in a candy store, etc. I can't wait to see what happens in two years (if we make it that long).

[RobRoy]

Is this on top of what was just passed?

[SoldierDad]

Okay, so where is the line that I can stand in to get my free handout? Might as well join them/sarc

[Baladas]

It’s over.

[murron]

So this is another stimulus bill? How is this one different, or is it? Why didn’t we hear about this before it was passed?

[kcvl]

Among the earmarks was one sponsored by Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., who secured $200,000 for a "tattoo removal violence outreach program" in Los Angeles. Aides said the money would pay for a tattoo removal machine that could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past, and anyone benefiting would be required to perform community service.

Rep. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., said the bill included at least a dozen earmarks for clients of PMA Group, a lobbying company now at the center of a federal corruption investigation.

[demshateGod]

Is “boost” another word for “stimulate”. Didn’t we just pass a Stimulate the Economy Bill? Is this a bill that is actually designed to stimulate the economy then, as opposed to just growing the government like the last one?

[kcvl]

Michelle Malkin...

9,000 earmarks in the $410 billion omnibus spending bill: Gang tattoo removal, Maine lobster, La Raza & more!

They do this, and then preach about fiscal responsibility. Like an alcoholic preaching temperance. Our government has becom a joke, and the joke is on us.

[popdonnelly]

Let’s not forget the additional half a trillion Obama wants for health care. But let’s all be responsible and fiscally sound, folks. This Administration is a bad joke.

[anniegetyourgun]

They won on 11/4/08....anybody with eyes wide open could see this coming.
