Senate passes $410 billion spending bill

[Gunny]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A massive spending bill that funds the U.S. government for the rest of the budget year passed the Senate on Tuesday despite complaints about nearly $8 billion in what critics called "pork-barrel" projects.

Senators voted 62-35 to cut off debate on the $410 billion measure and passed it on a voice vote immediately afterward.

The omnibus spending bill includes more than 8,000 congressional "earmarks," which total almost $8 billion. The earmarks have caused critics to question President Obama's pledge to end wasteful spending, but Obama administration officials said the bill is a holdover from the previous Congress.

"It is in America's best interest to close the book on the last administration and let the new one hit the ground running," said Sen. Daniel Inouye, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

But Sen. John McCain, a longtime critic of congressional spending and Obama's Republican opponent in the 2008 election, said the vote shows "business as usual" remained the order of the day.

WASHINGTON -- Congress on Tuesday cleared for President Obama's signature a $410 billion measure to fund the government, a measure denounced by most Republicans as an example of reckless spending.

The Senate approved the measure by voice after it cleared a key procedural hurdle by a 62-35 vote. Sixty votes were required to shut down debate.

Obama will sign the measure Wednesday, the White House said, but he will also announce steps aimed at curbing lawmakers' penchant for pet projects.

The $410 billion bill is chock-full of lawmakers' pet projects and significant increases in food aid for the poor, energy research and other programs. It was supposed to have been completed last fall.

The bill ran into an unexpected political hailstorm in Congress after Obama's spending-heavy economic stimulus bill and his 2010 budget plan forecasting a $1.8 trillion deficit for the current budget year. And Republicans seized on Obama's willingness to sign a bill packed with pet projects after he assailed them as a candidate.

More "change."

 

[WillowTree]

Yes, and Geithner is going after tax cheats too!

 

[Meister]

This is nothing more than business as usual in politics. When this budget was going through the House last year, Bush told them he would Veto this bill. They just held it over for Obama to sign. He didn't have any problem doing that....hell, it's "chump change" in his economy. He could have taken the high road with this bill and do a line by line veto to all the pork that's in it but he didn't. The republican were just as bad with the pork in this budget, and really could have gained some ground if they weren't so damn greedy. I knew this was going to be a bumpy road, but I never thought it would have such deep pot holes. I'm going to need some new shock absorbers before the 2010 election.

Which previous congress? The congress that voted for it today? The democrat controlled congress of the last 2 years?
It amazes me how Mr Obama thinks he can just tell any lie he wants to, and the press just lets him get away with it.

Right? Well, all except you can't really accuse Obama of knowing what was going on since he was never there.

 

[Vel]

I'm still trying to figure out what the price tag was for Obama to buy my senator. I think Alexander whored himself out in exchange for a water treatment plant, but I'm not sure. I certainly HOPE he got something better than that. You know, if you're gonna hook.. you should at least make sure to be well paid.

On the other side of the world--the European Union has said enough spending is enough. They are not going to increase their deficit anymore to stimulate the economy.

Wanna bet Europeans come out of this before we do?

If Obama wanted to show "fiscal" responsiblity he should have vetoed this bill--eliminated the ear marks in it. The past business is this year's business. It's spend--spend all you can until Americans get so fed up that they throw in the towel.

I don't know how many letters & e-mails I can write to my representative--but so far, they have ignored each & every one of them. I imagine they got some of these earmarks too.

I actually need to thank obama because after 4 years of him, he will move a lot of people more to the right! LOL

Yeah I've sent many emails. The good news is that I can't wait till mine are up for re-election. At least I get 1 vote of NO which seems to be one more than they have given.

Well I'm relieved. Here I was slightly embarrassed because my state's whore seemed to be working on the cheap, but now I know better. My senator has upped his prices and now is on a level with an Elliot Spitzer call girl. No need to hang my head in shame. My Ho can turn tricks with the best of them. Just look at the list of goodies he brought home.
