The bill is now 850$ Billion? I saw some of these stupid ass pet projects they threw into it. I just wrote my congressmen. Friggen ridiculous.
they added 100B (or more) to lure House republicans in. amazing, 700B did not pass because that is too much money, but 800B is ok! 100B is "not offset with revenue increases or spending cuts elsewhere in the budget. "
No, they threw the $700b bailout into a $150b bill that the House passed back in March. The media is botching this badly. Of course, that could work to our favor. I hope it doesn't pass, but I'm not holding my breath on this.
