One Trillion Dollars. Just like that. All that fighting over Debt Ceiling and Super Kommittee and for what....so they could just print a big fat trillion dollar bill and pay off stuff for the next nine months? WTF is going on here.

Its a bird Its a plane Its a budget...no its SuperSpend.

[TomasUSMC]

So this is saying that repubs where split over printing another Trillion?

I was rather curious about that myself, only reason I clicked on this thread was to see if I could decipher the headline.

At a Christmas party last night, I spoke with a House GOP committee chairman I have known for many years. He expects to be back in Washington next week and that there will be revisions to the deal that favor the GOP.

When will republican stop feeding the beast with fruit stolen from our children & grandchildren?

[rdl6989]

I too was curious about the title??????

[muddler]

When they get sent packing they will stop stealing my kids and grand kids future.

Not until then.

Not quite sure but I think the Hse was a Chinese dynasty.

Once again, the BOHICA Party lives up to its name. Hidden in this monstrosity - 1207 pages that nobody read - is a fee to make home ownership MORE expensive. Just what we needed for the housing “market”.

What the he!! does this mean??? LOL - I thought the same thing.

It makes about as much sense as "by the skin of your teeth" - and "easy as shooting fish in a barrel."

I don't have skin on my teeth, nor have I ever taken out my .45 when encountering flounder in a oak barrel.

Never, they are too terrified to stop the spending and the nation having to go through withdrawel from the spending overdose.

We will continue to pour money into the system until it collapses and then blame the free market.

My wife and I agreed (imagine that!) last night to cast no vote for an incumbent in the next election...all we have representing us now are “lilly livered” go along to get along weak kneed wusses....
