House Passes Spending Bill

The House passed yet another stop-gap spending bill yesterday. This one funds the government for three-weeks and includes $6 billion in cuts. This is the 6th Continuing Resolution to pass this year. The vote was closer than previous ones, passing 271 to 158. The Senate is expected to pass the bill and the President is expected to sign it by Friday, which is when the existing CR expires. It will fund the government through April 8th.

    What? The Tea Party Patriots did not stop this? What?

    I am shocked, I tell you. Flabbergasted. (If "flabbergasted" means "not really surprised at all that the bluster and bravdo of the Tea crowd did not actually result in any measurable change anywhere." But hey, thanks for all the jobs.")

    Hey..dan, the Tea Party knows what's wrong with government....they just aren't sure how it actually works without their side with a 100% majority.
