Republican agreement??? How many? Three??
not done yet.
Whoopee!!! $20,000,000,000 less than the original figure of 800 billion. Oh yeah, they wasted 28 billion in the first go around on the banks so I guess they decided not to include waste in this one. Some compromise.
How much is still PORK? Does it have rules for accountability and transparency? Anything less is just more of the same waste and lack of honest government for the people.
They are spending that much this weekend in their upscale little retreat.

So many questions...all these state projects..WHO PAYS FOR THEM ONCE THEY’RE DONE? I can’t believe this is happening...we are in so much trouble.
Sellout RINOs. Their minority leadership should strip them of every committe position of any consequence. Put them on the Wounded Grasshopper Committee. Fake senators with no conviction. Shame on these people.
Time to start pounding on Michael Steele to throw these people out of the party.
"Thanks to patsy Susan Collins, we now say, 'Death to America.'"
But Steele is being hailed as a big moderate and a compromiser. I hope that isn’t true. He needs to hitch em up and slam these defectors and start the process of replacing them.
Another stinking lying CNN headline. The article doesn’t say they’ve reached an agreement AT ALL! What crap.
Actually that was said November 4, 2008. Everything after that is only nailing the coffin shut.

In a sad way, this bill’s passage is actually a good thing in the sense that it will accelerate the pace of the country’s eventual bankruptcy. Because it will be at that point, and that point only, that we will have a chance to return to the limited government envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
I sort of agree. Look at it this way. 2010 Elections are now looking good.
I called and emailed Specter’s office today and I told him to oppose the bill. I reminded him that their will be no President Bush to come to PA to campaign for him in the 2010 Primary.
