There aren’t enough Republicans in the Senate to stop anything._____________________________________________

Some republican senators “dropped off in the last few days” had some effect, maybe a 60 vote threshold, with dems falling off here or there. The Republican senators caught an earful for earmarking and for the tax bill goo goo bar to the libs, I know that.

Maybe more of us picked up the dang phone against the tax bill than I suspected, and then turned around today and came back at them on the OmnibusT Bill also. We have to stay on the phones or we’re going down.

Does this mean that the ethanol subsidies are tabled till next year?

Ethanol. Everyone knew it was a bogus thing. Destroying food for fuel? Have we gone mad in this country?

And despite that Grassley and others want to keep the subsidies going...?

I hate this....I am sick and tired of this....Isn’t there someone....One person who has any sense in this Congress....who can stand up and articulate what all of us feel.....?
