It's done:
The Senate approved an $838 billion economic recovery package bill Tuesday, as Democrats held on to the few Republican supporters who helped hammer out a compromise measure last week.I downed about three Guinness drafts when I heard the news--it was either that or puke. Maybe I;ll drink about eight more and puke anyway.
The bill passed on a mostly party-line vote of 61-37. Sixty votes were needed. Three Republicans joined Democrats in passage.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., vowed to send a finished bill to Obama's desk "as soon as possible."
Obama, who was in Fort Myers, Fla., promoting his economic rescue efforts, welcomed the vote as "good news. ... It's a good start."
But the work has only just begun for congressional leaders in the House and Senate, who now must reconcile the differences between their two versions of the bill during what's known as a conference committee.
The unholy alliance of Specter, Collins and Snowe crossed and voted for this abortion of a bill even though it appears Specter had not a clue what was in it.
I love Obama's line "it's a start". I guess he's not just happy destroying America, he wants to salt the land so all hope is gone.
This is liberal nirvana, we have a tax cheat setting policy that no one has any confidence in and appears as if will send us the rest of the way into oblivion and three RINO's sealed the deal. Great day for America, eh?
Change we can believe in indeed.
