But the Senate Street Walkers had a deal?! :O

[Jim Noble]

The Senate transportation bill...only provides three years in funding

So, in other words, it's a bill for raising revenue.

[Fresh Wind]

And he said it’s not fair for the Senate to send the House a massive 1,000-plus-page bill just days before the funding deadline.

Yes, every house member is going to sit down and read every one of those 1,000 pages, just like every senator did.

I'm sure of that. Boehner told me so.

Whatever happened to all spending bills originate in the House?

[facedown]

...Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) had teamed up...

And there's the problem right there.

Thank you for referencing that article Cincinatus' Wife. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Regarding the so-called federal highway bill, patriots need to consider that, regardless that the RINO-controlled House has read the Constitution out loud at the beginnings of the last three legislative sessions, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for vote-winning intrastate highway purposes.

In fact, when the 14th Congress put a comparable bill on President James Madison’s desk to sign in 1817, Madison generally regarded as the father of the Constitution, Madison vetoed the bill. He explained to Congress that no clauses in Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers justified the bill. (The only roads that the states have authorized Congress to build are postal roads (1.8.7).

Veto of federal public works bill

Yes, the nation’s post-FDR era national highway system was built outside the framework of the Constitution imo, without the required Article V consent of the states; so what’s new?.

The charter for the bank, which provides loan guarantees to help U.S. corporations sell goods overseas, expired on June 30.

We spend money on giving corporations help in selling overseas and the companies keep the profit offshore? What a deal.
