Senate Democrats emerged Friday night from days of negotiations to declare that they had reached a deal with at least three moderate Republicans and now have the votes to approve their own version of a huge stimulus package that President Obama says is critical to strengthening the nation's flagging economy.Exactly what is in this bill, we don't know, and apparently they're going to vote on it this weekend without bothering to tell us. (More from CNN.) Michelle Malkin says, "Show us the bill!"
The agreement on what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called "the Obama plan" promised to deliver the new president his most important legislative victory so far. . . .
Those involved in negotiations said the deal on what they billed as a $780 billion package - approximately $40 billion less than the House approved and nearly $160 billion less than an earlier Senate draft - came about after a working group of centrists agreed to reduce both spending programs favored by Democrats and tax cuts pushed by Republicans.
The final Senate bill probably will be around $800 billion, members of both parties said.

COME ON - WHY WOULD YOU WANT A BILL THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA SHAT IS IN IT.
ReplyDeleteNO STIMULUS PACKAGE AND NO REPUBLICANS ON THIS
Haha!
ReplyDeleteThis is why " it just won't work" just won't work.
Obstructionism is not a viable political stance.Especially when you can't offer a solution. A tax-cuts only bill, ala Crazy Cousin McCain, only shows the ineptitude of your party.
You Retalibans( BTW, that's the new name for your party in honor of Rep.Sessions(R) of Texas who cited the Taliban as an example of how to mount a counter-insurgency...honestly, what else needs to be said) are so far gone down the nanny-boo-boo state that it is only a matter of time before you whine yourselves into oblivion.
I find it amusing that the Retaliban solution to the fiscal problem is " the let it go all to hell' solution. And this is the solution offered up by the people who will be least affected by letting it go all to hell, namely the Limbaughs and the Hannitys.I hope there is some kind of spending in the stimulus package intended to help you Retalibans get your heads out of your asses.
Losers....
If the President and Congress felt compelled to empty the treasury in some sort of ill-advised stimulus plan, I wish they simply would have bought me an Alpine White Dodge Challenger. . .
