    Default Really? 3 billion more in pork spending secretly added to the bill to re-open the gov't

    I know it's foxnews and all, but I couldn't believe this when I read it. Who are these people?

    McCain said that the dam project and other measures were indeed added in without warning.
    “We didn’t find about these small anomalies until about two hours ago,” he said on Fox News.

    Maybe they should read the bills before voting on them. Jackasses.

    Anyone want another reason to hate that witch?
    But Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, tells Fox News she put the dam funding in the budget deal because "there is no money” to fund the project otherwise. The House previously approved $1.7 billion for the project.
    Feinstein, D-Calif., says if the dam was not funded, all barge traffic, a significant source of commerce on the Ohio River, would be suspended. She says the funding was included in the budget bill because it is the only spending bill moving.

    Someone should explain the difference between STOP and SLOW to her.

    Wow. I'm so surprised.

    Look at the bright side: We've got front row seats to witness the melt-down of a once great society.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
