Wouldn’t he have to get this “past” the House?

I wondered that myself - I'm a little weak in foreign aid implementation; whether it requires congressional approval or if it's a grab bag the president wields alone.

I also note that no one has answered your question.

My question is how are they still spending this kind of money if the debt limit has not been raised? Did they tap into their TARP slush fund or are they just ignoring congress entirely. And if it is the latter isn't there some sort of mechanism to restrain it?

perhaps the I word should be shouted rather than whispered in the house
