Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell denied slipping a special provision into a deal he co-engineered to end the 16-day government shutdown and end a showdown over raising the nation's debt ceiling.
And the longtime Republican Senator from Kentucky had an admonishment for Republicans whose sole focus is the "impossible dream" of ending Obamacare.

She went to one too many Grateful Dead concerts.
We do not have 10 years and I truly believe this to be true.
Good point!
Good for Beck.
Yep - he did us right up the behind. And then had the Nerve to put a kickback in for himself? So he screwed us - and then spit on us for good measure. This guy HATES us. He’s astonishingly blatant about it.
C’mon Ted Cruz - seems you’re our only hope. Call a press conference and DESTROY this man. They want a WAR - let’s give it to them! Call him out on national TV for the lying stinking POS that he is.
Matt Bevin is a solution for us all.....
I loathe Schumer. Has anyone looked into his closet?
Bet you'd find Lindsey Graham in there.

McConnel can say what he wants.
I’m sure the Army Corps of Engineers, shiling for or with the WH cheerleaders backing them - with as restricted as their spending became, like the rest of the federal government since sequester - had plenty of NEEEDED TO BE KEPT GOING projects that needed more funding, in every state; but where were the special provisions in the bill for them? Not there.
Its hard to escape the facts. Harry Reid needed Mitch McConnel’s cooperation to get any deal with a debt ceiling increased in it (there was NEVER a danger of default, with or without it). Harry Reid got what he needed and McConnel can now campaign on the slogan: “I ‘opened’ the government and brought home the pork”. We will keep reminding Mitch that it was pork no one else got in the bill, except Obama that is.
I’ll share this that I read on another website:
“A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, DC. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window.
The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?”
“Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations.”
“How much is everyone giving, on an average?” the driver asks.
The man replies, “Roughly a gallon.”
