I tremble to think what kind of riders were stuffed into it to get the Rats on board.

I'm glad we have Kennedy on our side on this.

I think the Democrat's main objection was that the Republican's did not spend enough. Maybe the Dems wised up when they realized they can spend more under Bush and the Republican congress than they could under a Democrat President. I hope the Republican's lose the majority in the Senate. Then maybe we'll have gridlock and less spending.

Bush made a promise to the American people to practice fiscal responsibility. He's a liar just like Clinton.

There wasn't anything stuffed into it prior to this vote. This was on the adoption of the Conference Report--the final version of the bill. It's a straight up or down vote without amendment.

I sometimes think that the two party system is just a tool these guys use to keep us minions at each other's throats while they are pick-pocketing our money. Doesn't matter which party is in power, at the end of the day the average joe just has less dollars in his pockets.
