[tiznow]

cspan saying this and why i posted the OP

Senate Continues Debate on Stimulus Legislation
Today

The Senate is continuing debate on H.R. 1, the economic stimulus legislation. Senators have passed a number of amendments to the package, raising the estimated cost to around $940 billion. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has stated that he hopes a final vote can take place later today.

CNN saying this

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Democratic and Republican senators have reached a tentative agreement for a $780 billion stimulus package, according to two Democratic sources and a GOP negotiator.

Beat me to it Tiz, they did trim 150 billion, according to reports. It still sickens me to no end.

The next Boston Tea Party is needed. Out of touch politicians passing an earmark wish list and calling it stimulus. The poppycock just doesn't end.

The enablers enable the liars to lie, there is no truth coming out of Washington anymore, none.

Loser city central, another sad day in DC.

the enablers (but they think they're fucking brilliant)

:lol:

 

[oldmanTED]

$780 Billion tag now. Senate will likely vote on the bill within a couple of hours or so.

So you start saying this now, but just 6 months ago WE were all the ones that were crazy and kooks, remember? What about all those "the sky is falling" one liners?

Picking and choosing when we want to be conservative and have faux outrage can be fun!

^<<^

 

[steaktartar]

we really getting ponies?

 

[ScottL]

Yep, and -105 vig!

 

[tiznow]

Fletch, you really need to stop painting with such a broad brush. If you and tizdoom want to constantly attack my positions, you should at least observe where I stand on the issues, eh? Do I call you a racist because Ron Paul let racist organizations use his name and his letterhead? Do I call you a tax fraud because Obi Wan allows tax frauds to speak at his rallies?

1) I've never condoned the level of spending by President Bush, and have often criticized it. Accept that as fact or cite a post that proves otherwise. I didn't support his bailout plan or his support for giving Detriot money without union consessions.

2) I have often times stated that I like Obi Wan's fiscal responsibility, but I disagree with him on too many other libertarian policies. I don't believe in the gold standard, I don't think the federal income tax is illegal, I want to be proactive in the war on terror, I believe in social safety nets and I don't want to close all our international military bases.

Gird your loins: The Senate thieves rush to pass trillion-dollar porkulus
By Michelle Malkin • February 7, 2009 11:50 AM
http://michellemalkin.com/
Here’s where things stand. The Senate will be in session today from about noon to 3:00pm Eastern. Members will speak, but there won’t be any roll call votes. Cloture will reportedly be filed on the Cave-In/”Compromise” amendment from Sens. Collins and Nelson. The cloture vote (to end debate) on the amendment is scheduled for Monday at 5:30pm Eastern. GOP minority leader Mitch McConnell’s office tells us that “if cloture is invoked on the amendment post cloture time will run until noon on Tuesday. At noon on Tuesday the bill will be subject to another 60 vote hurdle by either waiving a budget point of order or achieving 60 votes on final passage.”
They’re taking Sunday off.
[Note: Demand the Congress show us the bill when you call!!!]
Question: Who has seen the Collins/Nelson cave-in amendment? Where is it? When can we, the taxpayers, see it? SHOW US THE BILL.
Here’s the list of Friday’s Roll Call Votes. Of note: Sen. Vitter’s amendment to ban ACORN funding failed 45-51. More:
· Coburn #176 (no bid contracts) passed 97-0
· Coburn #309 (wasteful spending) passed 73-24
· Graham/Conrad #501 (foreclosure prevention) failed 39-57
· Grassley #297 (FMAP) failed 47-49
· Cantwell #274 (energy tax incentives) motion to waive budget act passed 80-16
· Vitter #107 (no $ for ACORN) failed 45-51
· Bunning #531 (capitol loss) failed 41-55
· Thune #538 (tax rebate) motion to waive the budget act failed 35-61
<snip>
I ask again: Where is the cave-in amendment? When does the tax-paying public that will fund this Generational Theft Act get to see it? SHOW US THE BILL.
Thanks to all of you who have melted the phones to stop passage of this Mt. Kilimanjaro-sized, gold-plated pile of crapola. The voicemail and e-mail boxes of the U.S. Senate are completely filled. You can find local district phone and contact information for every U.S. senator here. Don’t stop.
