Emergency Supplemental Spending
Senate set to pass bloated bill...
The Senate is set to pass the emergency supplemental spending bill, designed to fund the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afganistan as well as fund ongoing hurricane recovery in the gulf. The bill is laden with 'extras' to the tune of $14 billion plus. President Bush has threatened a veto (LOL!) will he follow through?
Also, at least Senator Frist seems to have backed away from his federal government handout of $100 due to gas prices. That's a shame as I was hoping to get some federal assistance for my higher cable bill, cell phone bill, natural gas bill and other expenses I have. Oh wait, they're more tone deaf than I thought.. it's still alive!
