OK
I just turned on C-span to see the words $1 Billion Amed. to the Education bill by Mr. Harkin (D-Iowa).
Mr. Spector had a roll call vote. He said this amount exceeds the limit one can use in and amendment. Harking asked for the rule to be waved.
I filed this under Breaking news becasuse the Senate is LIVE.

Am I wrong in thinking that if a Senator wants to spend A BILLION DOLLARS, he better write his own bill on the matter?

The RATS aren't asking for 1 Billion dollars in new spending are they? I mean, they are bashing President Bush about the deficit, so it follows that of all people. THEY wouldn't add to it would they?

The Question is why?
Too many elected officials, unfortunately, are little more than political whores.
And when we deal with whores, remember that the very best we will ever get is screwed.
