House Democrats push through massive budget bill

JK about the lead.

We must concentrate on winning additional margins in the House and taking the Senate.

Between those two we can put the imperial presidency back into the bottle, hold a steady re-Constitutional course, and keep both Houses of Congress for a generation.

Another massive bill no one can read. Is Obama's unlimited transfer authority in there? BEWARE, Republicans ... you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE THIS. Any attempt will be vetoed and you cannot override. Only by going nuclear will you undo whatever tactical nukes are hidden in this monstrosity.

SENATORS ... you have to stop this.

Threshold revenue bill. Been about that all along....just like Vampire-Care which couldn’t bring in enough to prevent them from printing dollars. Notice the D.C. speak that there is no talk from EITHER side about other thresholds.......like the Reagan threshold, Kennedy threshold, Eisenhower threshold. etc.,

Would the Sergeant-At-Arms arrest all these buffoons immediately? How dare they? They have no respect for the rule of law, the Constitution or themselves. All LIB/DIM asshats need ousted...ALL. Give them no quarter. Never stop fighting them and their loony anti-freedom, anti-American ideas.

Doing as much damage as possible before being run out of town...

I wonder what Nancy has hidden in those 400+ pages.

Think anyone will read it? Nah, me neither.

[screaminsunshine]

Best plan yet.

[screaminsunshine]

They will never stop. Not even the Republicans. I predict they will borrow until no one will lend them any money and then just print money until doomsday. The question is how long the Ponzi scheme will be allowed to continue by the people.

Who is she “protecting American families” from? Certainly not her and her marxist buddies...

[Texas resident]

This bill includes a dozen unfinished spending bills. In the bill there has to be some sort of funding for all that new spending. And Pelosi is smiling.
Not good news for our country.
Seems like the lame ducks are going for a scorched earth plan before they head out of town.

[ExTxMarine]

This bill includes a dozen unfinished spending bills.

Yep - including the "Food Safety Bill" SB.510 which will almost KILL the small farmer business. It allows the government to regulate the amount of product you grow in your own apartment balcony! It is STUPID!

I pray that the Senate kills this bill!!!!

[Texas resident]

Well, I guess a bunch of us will become outlaw farmers.
Your point is very good though, what the hell is it any of their business what we grow and what we do with the crops? They are actively punishing Americans for just living their lives while at the same time ignoring/allowing real threats to continue to grow. There is a civil war just waiting to happen in Mexico and the feds are concerning themselves with small farmers practices and banning bake sales in our children’s schools. This is nothing but intentional.

Here's a chart that shows what's being frozen in place....

US Government Spending As Percent Of GDP

[markomalley]

The bill that was passed last night is a CR, not a budget (the article made it sound like they passed a budget).

HR 3082, Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011

This is the ultimate failure on the part of the 111th Congress. Despite having a 76 vote advantage, the Dhimmicrats were unable to get even a single budget passed through the House for FY11. That epitaph needs to go on the headstones for both Speaker Pelosi and Chairman Obey. Un-friggin believable.

[Java4Jay]

I never heard of a ‘Continuing Resolution’ for a whole year?

Am I wrong?

[Java4Jay]

Budget year? When does that expire ?

[ridesthemiles]

Reid was going to try & sneak the S-510 Food Bill into the Continuing Resolution for funding for a few more weeks.

Did Nancy do the same thing in the House???
