” 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.

“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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
