Ah, the stimulus package.

Slippery eel, he’s got an ‘out’. Only the House of Representatives can introduce spending bills! The originators of the Constitution didn’t trust Senators with the tax payers’ money any farther then they could carry and elephant!! You could get rid of a spendthrift Congressman every two years.

Deficit spending…

So now we know how well introducing spending bills in the House works. They do it with the greatest of ease cuz it’s not their money and they don’t have to worry about it.

I don’t trust any of ‘em.

Arrogance and Greed is rampant !

I notice our founding fathers didn’t trust the Executive branch either.Why does he bother to submit a budget?

Now that sounds just about right

BigChiefDesoto: Alas, the Constitution doesn’t prohibit the Senate from tossing additional expenditures into spending bills once they pass the house… and they do it regularly.

Thus the mistrust… And how many of our presidents were senators first?

This could be par for the course!

Hey, if Senator Nancy can get away with it, why can’t he?

god, the tip alone must be a small fortune!

He’ll land you in the river before he’ll pay his own tab, “MaryJo”.
