” To reimplement Gramm-Rudman-Hollings to require deficit reduction and spending cuts upon 2 consecutive quarters of positive GDP growth.
RULED OUT OF ORDER at 7:22 PM, 02.04.2009
That SOB tried to bring back Gramm-Rudman?!?”
That’s actually a good idea. Its “pay-go” so it would stop the Senate from spending like there’s no tomorrow. They would need 60 votes on every big spending item.
Demint Amendment up next, college campuses barred from prayer if they are taking federal monies for repairs to facilities
“Dodd amendment up limiting executive compensation funds for those getting TARP monies”
Stupid amendment. We should have the *real* Dodd amendment - limiting sweetheart mortgages for senators on financial industry oversight committees.
“Demint Amendment up next, college campuses barred from prayer if they are taking federal monies for repairs to facilities”
In a bill with outrage after outrage of every liberal wishlist item you can think of ... this is at the top.
This is an ACLU-style Soviet-style abolition of religious freedom in the schools.
How Much Is $1 Trillion?

I heard someone say in the back “We need a 10 minute vote for this!!??”
YOU SO ROCK!!!
TY TY TY!!!
Obama is not going to stop there...he has bigger plans to limit pay for industries and businesses across this country whether they get TARP money or not.
This is a dangerous road the democrats are taking us down(as you know).
Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx would be so proud of Obama and the democrats today.
“Comrade update” now live on Glenn Beck-Fox News!
Waitaminit, this is from Demint??
I put it in chat here:

Wasn’t sure about posting it in News. You might want to ping your posse to the thread. I don’t have much of a ping list..(grin)
They cut the vote off early, thank goodness.
BECK IS SETTING AMERICA STRAIGHT!!
No wonder the dems want to hurry this bill through the senate. The American people are waking up and realizing this bill is not ‘stimulus’....it is democrat special interest pork. By Sunday, the poll numbers on the Porkulus bill will be in the tank!
LOL!
Watching it. Recording it. Unreal.
Huh? DeMint amendment permits schools receiving the stimulus to continue to have religious groups meet on campus, not resrict them.
Demint was trying to put an ammendment in to stop the leftists from banning faith forums if they got federal funds.

No..see post and link on 136.
What does he mean “13 votes”?
I am in class people. Has there been a vote yet?
Looks like its the ‘Gang of 13’ now instead of 14 or 16.
