Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) Region II : PASS Legislative Update for July 1, 2011
That page tracked the genesis of the bill at Opencongress.org/bill/all.

Funny thing is the Senate went back into session and passed the House version, which was passed weeks ago, by unanimous consent.

False.

How did it become law skippy? Since the senate didnt need the house.

this should be good.

It's false in that you are claiming that the Senate caved and passed the House bill. It's just a temporary bill, until Sept. 16, only because the House skipped town.

 

[BDBoop]

Is this how it's going to be straight through to the election? I wish to vote to move the election up then, please.

Tuesday works for me.

If we had an election next week, the GOP would go the way of the dodo.

 

[MaggieMae]

It's the Dems who did these projects with pork.
The Repubs don't use the taxpayers money for their own little conveniences, they still drive the extra miles to their homes from major air ports.

False. Post your link.

Overall, according to documents uncovered by Judicial Watch in January 2011, Pelosi used the Air Force aircraft for a total of 43 trips, covering 90,155 miles, from January 1 through October 1, 2010. Judicial Watch, through FOIA, continues to pursue other records related to Pelosi’s use of Air Force aircraft. A May 6-10, 2010, Congressional Delegation to Afghanistan and Germany “to discuss issues of mutual interest in Qatar and Afghanistan, as well as conduct oversight on women’s issues (troops) in Afghanistan and to visit with US troops and meet with government officials in Germany.” The total cost of military travel was $204,135.00. The records indicate then-Speaker Pelosi made a personal request that the “maximum per diem allowance be made available at the enhanced rate of an additional $50.”

Oh gawd, I see we're nitpicking every tidbit in everyone's archives. How ignorant.

You do know, I hope, that George Bush ordered the use AF Planes to be used for the Speaker of the House and other officials following the attacks of 911. Denny Hastert (former speaker) used a C-20B for all air transportation to and from DC to Illinois. But as soon as a Democrat became Speaker, she got slammed for it. Gee, wonder why? What's good for the goose is good for the gander, unless you happen to be a Democrat that is.

Do you have numbers in your "files" regarding the "COSTS" involved in any of the Republican Congressional Delegates little adventures to foreign countries? I'm betting no.

 

[MaggieMae]

Oh, yeah, and "Previous documents obtained by Judicial Watch show the former Speaker’s military travel cost the USAF $2,100,744.59 over one two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol." linky

Oh yeah, and

And, do you honestly think John Boehner doesn't get reimbursed for his commerical flights and any entertaining he might do with lobbyists, press people, etc., on board??

sorry, that's not pork. But thanks for playing!

It's not even an appropriate "subject" to toss into this thread. A strawman argument. That said, "pork" spending reached a pinnacle in 2005, the highest in history, under you-know-who and which party in control.

 

[MaggieMae]

Where is your evidence that it hasn't been spent wisely? Oh that's right, you were talking out your ass.

Shrimp on treadmills, funding hookers to drink responsibly, replacing windows in a visitor center that isnt going to be reopened.

Was it an interesting report Willow?

You don't know the definition of pork, then.

Pork is unnecessary spending by Congress. The Speaker of the House Pelosi, if you read the link, charged the American people for her and her family to fly anywhere at will, often cancelling all preparations with little or no notice, in blatant disregard for the Air Force being a military, not a personal convenience service to fatcats like the superrich Pelosi gang.

And that's not all the stuff Pelosi pulled while she pulled money from yours and my pocket for her and her family's enrichment.

I think you're miffed because you know Judicial Watch backs up their allegations, and they are very true.

Pelosi abused power at taxpayer expense, most of whom do not have an extensive personal fortune like hers.

"Pork" is also known as "earmark spending," which means stickys placed on pages in existing bills often having NOTHING to do with the "pork funding" requested, but gets approved because it's part of the bigger package.

Educate yourself. Beck College doesn't cut it.

It never went into conference BECAUSE after the Senate passed it back to the House for that purpose, the riders were attached. What are you reading that claims otherwise?

The House passed a temporary funding bill that the Senate ignored. That is what I am talking about, and you keep talking about the bill that is supposed to re certify the FAA.

Didn't actually read the link, did you... And it's actually in English, not too many big words.

I'm still waiting for her to define 'unnecessary spending'.
