But didn't you know only the "chatter class" cares. The average American could care less

Glenn Beck was ranting about this on the radio this morning. It was cracking me up. They were trying to read it as fast as they could, only caught bits and pieces of it since I needed to get the kiddos out of the car

Well this will be something definitely the Dems can hang there hats on. They own it. Just remember that come election time and when we all are sitting there scratching our heads saying "where did the $$ go??".

I heard some Congressman stammering and generally sounding like a moron when he was asked if he had read it..he claimed to have read 1000 pages in 2 hours.

wonder if he got to the part where ACORN will still receive funds..granted, the funds are half of what was previously ear marked for them, but it is still a pant load of $$$ to fund a group that practices nefarious voter registration tactics


This one rests solely at the feet of the dems...unfortunately, the people will reap what those clowns have sown

It was also reported that this was 8 years of things they wanted all rolled up and waiting for this time.

To pay for it means printing more money. Our dollar is going to crash if this continues. It will be just paper.

Our debt is 5.1 trillion and will almost double in the next 4 years with all this craziness.

Honestly, I am fearful.

I am stockpiling dried beans and cheap things like rice and oats.
We eat as cheaply as possilbe
