Actually its been front and center and you know darn well it has.
Ok... so now the liberal weenies are interested only in creating jobs, eh? Where's that been for the last few years? :rofl:

No such thing as a shovel ready job, Snil. Obama said so (after swearing up and down that there were).Are the shovels ready yet?

Didn't you hear? The first stimulus just wasn't big enough.When it comes to the subject of economic stimulus - there has been no shortage of shovels being used in DC.They have used them well piling it high and deep
It seems to me your anger would be better if it were focused at the party that has set a record for filibusters, much of it against bills that they introduced themselves.
Besides all this, to prevail at such a claim, you'd have to prove actual damages.
And it's not even you, it's your screen name.Actually, the bottom line is that you have to care what some random person online says about you in some little debate...
And it's not even you, it's your screen name.
I also found that there is a new rule that states:
Budget Committee Chairman-to-be Paul Ryan (R-WI) will have new powers under the package to dictate spending priorities and restrictions for the federal budget. In case the House and Senate fail to reach agreement on a budget resolution, the congressman will then be able to ban any revisions to his guidelines.
Thats a nice new power to have.
CLARIFYING THE ROLE OF THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET.—In rule XXIX,
add the following new clause:
Authoritative guidance from the Committee on the Budget concerning the impact of a legislative proposition on the levels of new budget authority, outlays, direct spending, new entitlement authority and revenues may be provided by the chair of the committee.’’
Is this what they are whining about?.
It's pure horse****... but then again... they have nothing else to offer.
If you want to debate lets debate. If you want to throw insults go back to highschool and pick on kids smaller than you.
That's right... ignore the rest of the post and focus in on that. After all, why bother discussing the meat of my post, when you can whine about one small part, right? Much easier for you to whine.
Now, would you care to use the link to the actual text of the bill, which I provided, to prove your point? Or, would you prefer to continue to whine that the big bad Whovian said something mean to you....
(Oh, and I find it highly amusing that you complain about a percieved insult, by insulting)
I know. I've seen people on boths sides in here and on other forums whine like little girls that $25 million here, or $47 million there... or even a few billion... doesn't matter, considering the size of the financial hole we are in. My contention has always been that you cut when ever and where ever you can, and it will all add up.
The rule changes I want to see are as follows.
1. Term limits of 12 years for both Houses.
2. Benefit packages equal to but not to exceed those of an Army Pfc.
3. All pay in Both houses to be equal to but not exceed that of an Army Major, the President would receive the pay of a 4 Star General.
4. SSI to be turned over to or sold to private industry with strict rules that include all members of both houses.
5. All gifts from lobbyists that exceed lunch cost are banned.
6. Congress should meet no more than 2, 3 month periods, Jan. thru Mar. and then July thru Sept. Unless there is an emergency.
7. No bill should contain more then 20 pages be written in plain English and no attachments are permitted.
8. At any time a petition containing 1,000,000 signatures can force a no confidence vote of any elected official and force them from office, for any reason.
It's not perfect but it might be a starting point to save money.

Im sorry was there a point to that post?
