Reid pulled the bill. I think Senators are hearing the footsteps of 2012 already. It's a good sign for our future.
This wasn't about that at all. I was amazed at your partisan response to the issues of this thread because I know that you know better than that. What you said is spun worse than O'Reilly's "No spin zone".
A quick scan of the actual use for these funds turns up nothing alarming. Nearly all will make America a healthier, much safer place to live. That's the kind of stuff I WANT my tax $ to go for. I didn't read it all, just the stuff Republicans pointed out. They'd rather be like China. If the Reps want to trim the budget (history proves they don't, never have, never will, just lie about it) They should start by bringing all of our occupying troops and equipment home from around the world, eliminate all business subsidies and credits of any kind, get a grip on the illegal alien invasion, end the Bush bribes for the rich, and enact legislation to stop the massive fraud committed against our government by contractors.
How can you not scan the text of the bill and see stuff like 900 million dollars for some youth activities bullshit? I couldn't even begin to tell you where it was in that monstrosity along with stuff like Women's History Museums and other garbage. Hey, if some women want to make a women's museum they can do it on their own OK? Then your second paragraph is perfect. I agree with everything you wrote in that paragraph. Well, I can't really name the Bush bribes for the rich but I am sure they are probably real. Hell, someone pick a page at random and we will see what is on it and decide if it a worthwhile expense. I like Oldsmobiles so I will pick page 442. Now I am going to go see what the money is for.
Trying to read that is almost impossible. I think I have it figure out though how they bleed the money off into their own pockets. Goes like this.... 900 million to be distributed as such.... 80 million to so and so fund..... to be distributed to so and so's other project....... 50 million 300 and 42 thousand to be distributed to such and such all 900 million to go back to the boys and girls club of P.O. Box number 666 route 66 Bumfuck South Dakota Then those pricks get the money. Has to be.
What exactly did I say that wasn't "thinking for myself"? Or are you just resorting to your regular fall back comment when you are out of thing to say?
Rather than analyzing what I said, you dismissed it as "talking points" with zero analysis of your own. Nice try, but it won't work with me. I will admit being wrong when I wrote "thinking for yourself", however; it was the "for yourself" part that was in error.
I don't know what you are talking about because me saying that you should know better was only a very small part of my post. Notice my both sides argument and events in the past that I used to try and make my point. But it doesn't even matter.
