Spending bill

[wjk]

Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:

You know why a reporter doesn't ask that question? Because it would embarrass the self-righteous prick. And then the reporter and his or her media employer would lose access due to quite retaliation.

Agree, but isn't that their job? Isn't that what the tough questions are for? Perhaps the media would not lose access if they exposed the truth about the pricks since the pricks would be tossed out of office next election. Problem is, some who do ask the tough questions are vilified beyond belief for ideological reasons.

And ideology seems to permeate the media, so it may be more than just fear of access that prevents the tough questions.

Not only should it be read it should be shit canned.

Quote from Tigerjaw:

Excellent ! It looks like we have a point of agreement afterall. I think the bill should be delayed until they have a chance to debate and read its details. I don't think a couple weeks or so would be unreasonable for such a stupendous obligation of money.

Do you think the bill should be held up in order that it be fully read ?

Yes, I agree - - at least given some of the parts that I have been able to read. I'm afraid that our discussion will soon be moot and that it will be passed - - - over the objections of many citizens on both sides of the aisle.

Hmmmmmm - - and where were the freakin' 'financially conservative' Republicans when Bush was spending like crazy ? That was all perfectly fine as long as 'their guy' was doing the spending. These damned politicians will be the ruin of us all.

Why aren't the left privacy advocates screaming about health care records being reported to the gov't?


Unbelievable what a bunch of liars the left really is.

Exactly why I am a RECOVERING REPUBLICAN.


The real issue is that why people immediately gather to the "home team," much as you did when you imagined that I was a D.

I don't have a 'home team', I'm an independent. But your point on assumptions is spot on.

Frankly, I think its all a big game that the politicians play - they rotate musical chairs every 4 or 8 years while the voters argue among themselves and don't even notice how theyre getting shafted. The point of the game is to keep themselves in power.

You sound like a very wise man....your initial reaction to me notwithstanding.

Unreal, Barry and the dems try and push this thing through without giving anyone a chance to read it.

A new era of transparancy? I think not.


The corruption and lying perpetrated by this administration and congress will be unprecedented.

You are wrong. Lobbyists have chance to read it.
