A proposal to end the government shutdown and avoid default orchestrated by Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Leader Harry Reid includes a $2 billion earmark for a Kentucky project.
Language in a draft of the McConnell-Reid deal (see page 13, section 123) provided to WFPL News shows a provision that increases funding for the massive Olmsted Dam Lock in Louisville from $775 million to nearly $2. 9 billion.

Hey Mitch how does it feel to be dingy harrys bit*h? Bent over a senate desk you filthy excuse of a human.
Repeal the 17th!!!!!!!!
Not the least surprising. Senator Tudor the Turtle is buying up votes in an election year because he knows a lot of people want him gone. Bringing home the bacon to save his bacon, and all that.
Bleah!
They don't see it that way. Since taxes are unlimited free money dropping a couple hundred million on a boondoggle to get back a couple thousand in campaign contributions, which is actually regulated, makes perfect sense.
Zero funds for the GOP. Nada. Not one penny.
Every self address envelope the send me to include a check, will be filled with a pound of dirt and a Tea Bag.
A used Tea Bag.
So they bribed him to surrender.
Matthew 26:14 Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,
15 And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.
Acts 1:16 Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:
17 Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.
A 4 year project, that almost a QUARTER CENTURY LATER is still not done, has huge cost overruns, and is still being built using untested methods that have been a complete disaster.
Crazy.
They gave up even more power to the executive branch in exchange for a piece of silver.
Yup. Just sickening!
McConnell was bought off, not a shock..most of these GOP Establishment progressive RINOS all get bought off at some point by the Dems
Its a $pecial Club that our Congre$$men belong to. $cratch my back and I’ll $cratch yours. $crew the public, they aren’t $pecial like us.
Make Senate terms 2 years instead of 6 and limit them to 2 terms. Politician should never be a career choice.
Actually, it is the money of our grandchildren.
Strike that, make that great grandchildren.
On second thought, that should really be great great grandchildren.
I just got out a calculator. Make that.......
In my email to McConnell...I also said....your grandchildren will be spitting on your grave
This nation will collapse by their time.
Is this what they call a “clean” CR?
