I missed the beginning .. But Conrad is up now talking about the Disaster/relief package

Sounds like more spending

I understand why Norm Coleman is going to bat for farm aid for his area, but he illustrates perfectly how all of the Katrina "compassionate spending" is coming back to bite us in the @ss. We didn't use any economic criteria to decide to throw money at that one because we "cared", so if we don't throw money at this one, it means we don't care.

As I indicate above, the standard is now "do we care the way we cared about Katrina?" PUKE. What a way to run a country. Now Kaka is coming in for money for the RAIN.

How did these states ever survive all those years before the Federal Government bailed them out

Heck .. why have Governors and state legislators if the Feds are going to take care of everything?

Gregg up pointing out how the Dems run stopping the spending

Gregg is setting them up for the "test" of fiscal discipline on which the dems campaigned.

Gregg is one of the Senators that I enjoy listening/watching..

Conrad is his smarmy self...saying this isn't the NEW congress.

Well...then if I were Gregg...I would say that they will kick the can to next year.

Conrad is up saying there is no budget so the Dems aren't doing anything wrong

Then says the new congress isn't in yet .. that this is still the old congress

Conrad claims this amendment is not breaking the budget because they've done this type of thing in the past

Gregg asked if this amendment falls under Rule 16

Looks like Gregg can kill this bill

Conrad up talking about a super majority vote and imploring Gregg not to apply Rule 16

My hope is that the GOP makes the Dems' bills require as many 60 vote miniumum as possible.
