Friday The 13th Part Two

Not content with the $870 billion in spending they passed last Friday the 13th, the house has passed another $410 billion spending bill.


This bill will go to the Senate where Senators Specter, Collins, and Snow will extract a few window dressing concessions in exchange for their vote to further pillage the American taxpayer. There hasn't been the big full court press media effort to push this through in a hurry like the last one so this process will probably take a few days.

The gang of three will proudly boast about the $100 million in concessions they managed to extract from Senate Democrats and little Chucky Shumer will note that American's don't really care about the 9,000 plus little porky amendments.

Then the conference committee will meet to iron out the differences between the House and Senate Bills. Again their is no sense of the end of the world driving this legislation so they won't be burning any midnight oil in the negotiations. In the end, they will put back 90% of what the gang of 3 had removed.

By the time the conference report is passed by both houses - it will be Friday, March 13.
