Am I correct in observing that the senate inserted spending amendments to a bill that the house just voted on?Isn’t it the job of the house to ‘initiate’ spending/taxes, not to ‘concur’ with the deliberative body?

I see it as evidence that the U.S. Senate has been trying to undermine the Constitution every chance they got for years now. And they managed to pull it off with this self created crisis they first created themselves. Especially one sorriest excuse for a human being, Socialist championing Senator Barney 'the Mouth' Franks. (Did you see old Bill'O' rip him a new one last night?! What a hoot it was to!)
