WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has signed a $1 trillion-plus 2012 spending bill that sets the day-to-day budgets of 10 Cabinet agencies.
The Senate approved the bill last Saturday in a flurry of year-end activity that was overshadowed by an ensuing confrontation over extending a payroll tax cut.

"Both sides declared victory in the spending bill."That's the problem isn't it? A trillion dollars and everyone thinks it's great.

I thought we voted in a bunch of Republicans into Congress to stop this utter and total insanity.

Drunkard (bleeding profusely): I was at the festival of the vernal equinox, and I guess I had a little too much mead... and I darted out in front of an oxcart. It all happened so fast. They couldn't stop in time.
Theodoric of York: Well, you'll feel a lot better after a good bleeding.
Drunkard: But I'm bleeding already!
Theodoric of York: Say, who's the barber here?
Later: Theodoric bleeds a young lady to death.

Budget? Budget? We don't need no stinking budget. Boenher and the House lap dogs(Republicans) will now speak when they are spoken to and come when they are called and do as they are told.

Suddenly I feel like the whole two month Social Security tax cut was just the showmanship part of a trillion dollar game of three card monte.

Republicans blocked new federal regulations for light bulb energy efficiency, coal dust in mines and clean water permits for construction of timber roads.The White House prevented Republican attempts to block limits on greenhouse gases, mountaintop removal mining and hazardous emissions from utility plants, industrial boilers and cement kilns.
There were things that needed to get done by the end of the year. Pandering to the environazis was one of them obviously.

What’s money if you can’t charge it?

What makes me sick is that all that money will help him be reelected. He will give it to all his friends - unions and all - who will run his campaign for him. The guy is a criminal moron but boy..what an organization the marxists have. We are the dumbest of all for not seeing that and we are so so far behind. Very very sad state of affair in American politics these days.

I thought we voted in a bunch of Republicans into Congress to stop this utter and total insanity. The House is led by a Democrat plant just as bad as Pelosi. Unless crud like Crybaby Boehner are purged, it will make little difference who is elected president.
