Alright. An early Christmas. It got what it deserved.
Reid Pulls Controversial $1.2 Trillion Spending Bill in Favor of Short-Term Budget Fix - FoxNews.com
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, bowing to Republican opposition to a 1,924-page $1.2 trillion spending measure packed with earmarks, withdrew the bill and said he would work with Republican leaders on a smaller, short-term budget fix to avoid a looming government shutdown.
The Dems didn't have the votes. Now on to ( fingers crossed ) a continuum of the Bush Tax Cuts deal with Obama, and America stands a chance of rebuilding her economy. Wonderful news. JOBS. If there is a change in the estate ( death ) tax, then I hope eveybody walks off the floor and no deal is struck at all.

Sen. Robert Bennett (R—Utah), an old McConnell friend, worked actively to round up as many as nine potential Republican votes for the compromise, but these numbers rapidly evaporated amid personal attacks and the uproar this week over spending earmarks in the package.

Getting this guy knocked out was worth everything else.

McConnell, embarrassed by reports on his own earmarks in the omnibus, went to the Senate floor Thursday to propose a one page, clean two month extension of the current stop gap funding resolution that has kept the government funded since Oct. 1. And as if caught with their hands in the cookie jar, he and other top Republicans vowed to do everything in their powers to kill the omnibus to square themselves with their tea party backers.
Optimistic, but Im not convinced continuing the current tax case will help us rebuild. It just will stop the government from destroying what we do have.
Reid and the Dums obviously learned the lesson of the last election. That lesson was, the American people have had ENOUGh of backroom dealing, multi thousand page bills stuffed with pork introduced and marked up in 20 minutes, self dealing and corruption. Their response was to get as much in as possible before the new posse rolled into town.
Unbelievable.
The Dems are still, The PArty of Fuck You.

And just as with ObamaCare, no one had bothered to read it....

Right. By stopping the spending and not increasing taxes on everyone, is what will help the economy. The job creators will start hiring but not the huge superpowers as they need more than a two year extension to begin their planning of large businessess. But I feel that will happen. This initial agreement is just the first step in the right direction, imo.
The substitute bill offered by McConnell to keep the gubmint running is supposedly just 1 page long.
McConnell found religion! Way to be.
I am very proud of that old boy right about now.
Gee, the GOP didn't win the senate, they won the house.
I bet you money that the budget served up by the next congress is bigger and contains more pork, but flavored to suit the tastes of both parties, not just the dems.
Anybody brazen enough to take that bet?

I'm just glad that the democrats were called out on this shady maneuver. Given the fact that they had months to take this issue up....debate it and vote on it. Being the shady lame mallards that they are, they wait until the last week and all of the sudden it's a critical issue and needs to be passed ASAP. Nearly 2,000 pages needed to be read and debated on in 2-3 days? Stevie Wonder could see through this.
Oh Noes! Poor Poor Poor lil ol SarahG.
