— Ace Think he'd wield the veto pen on that? You betcha.
The House formally began debate, which is expected to last three days, Tuesday afternoon following some wrangling over the hundreds of amendments lawmakers want to attach to the package. More than 400 amendments were filed Monday night. Among them were a proposal from Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., to eliminate funding for the president's Teleprompter and one from Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, to strip funding for the alteration, repair or improvement of the executive residence of the White House and instead divert that amount to deficit reduction.
Womack pulled the proposal because he couldn't determine an actual figure about how much money it would save.
It would save me some Blockbuster Video money, because the president would give me all the lulz I need. That shit would be hi-larious.
But this is serious:
The House reading clerk will begin reciting all 359 pages of the continuing resolution. Members will be allowed to offer amendments at any relevant portion of the bill, introducing each amendment at very specific points of the bill as it is being read. In other words, if they are talking about defense, it has to come at the defense portion. Each amendment has to be offered at the precise clause, sentence, comma, jot or tittle where it is relevant. If not, the amendment is not allowed.Many Democrats have accused Republicans of going too far in their 2011 budget plan.
Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said Tuesday that the GOP was using a "meat cleaver approach to budget cuts."
But Ryan said the party is trying to counteract the overspending they see out of the administration. "The president wants to lock in these really high spending levels. Twenty-four percent increase in base government spending, 84 percent on domestic agencies, when you count the stimulus. We want to pull back all those spending agreements that he's trying to lock in. There's the impasse," he said.
The Rules Committee (held by Republicans, of course) blocked Steve King's proposal to defund ObamaCare, claiming some question about whether or not that was allowed. (??? -- What? Why wouldn't it be?) I wonder if they were influenced by this bad news:
Most Americans, 55 percent, disapprove of the plan to cut off funding to the new health care reforms, and just 35 percent approve. Among Republicans, approval rises to 57 percent. Forty-nine percent of independents disapprove, and 38 percent approve.
Yeah, this is one of those times we're going to have to go ahead and ignore the hegemony of the wishy-washy ill-informed we-want-our-cake-and-eat-it-too independents. This is what we ran on, this is what we must do.
There's some good news. The freshman Tea Party class, one of their number notes, is serious -- they're not messing around.
The decision to move forward on entitlement reform wasn’t a direct reaction to the recent “revolt” over the $100 billion in spending cuts, but that fight was certainly on everyone’s mind. “The hundred-billion issue was a good reminder that putting forward a budget that fails to balance, ever, and does nothing to address the central challenges, did not have a chance in hell,” says one House aide. Of the freshmen, he adds, “These guys are serious, they don’t mess around.”A senior GOP House aide tells NRO that the leadership is willing to move now on entitlements because the “will is there” in the conference. “We have the 218 votes needed to support entitlement reform,” he tells us. “While raising it now provides an important contrast, to be sure, we would not be bringing it up if we did not have the votes. We know the conference will back it if it’s included in the budget. The leadership knows they have to lead and there is no one better than Paul Ryan to take charge. The sense in the conference is, ‘let’s be serious.’”
The Democrats are just as serious on budgetary matters, they want you to know.

BYRD AMENDMENT
A provision commonly referred to as the Byrd Amendment (31 U.S.C. 1352) prohibits the use of Federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement funds to pay any person for influencing or attempting to influence the executive or legislative branch with respect to certain specified actions. The specified actions include the following:
• awarding of a Federal contract;
• making of a Federal grant;
• making of a Federal loan;
• entering into of a cooperative agreement; or
• the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment or modification of any of these.
Any person who requests or receives a Federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement is required to file a certification that no payments prohibited by the Byrd amendment have been made using appropriated funds, and a declaration providing information with respect to any payments made using other than appropriated funds. Violations of the Byrd amendment may result in the imposition of civil penalties of $10,000 or more.
SIMPSON-CRAIG AMENDMENT
Effective January 1, 1996, the so-called Simpson-Craig amendment to the Lobbying Disclosure Act (2 U.S.C. 1611) makes any organization that is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code ineligible for federal funds through an award, grant, or loan if the organization engages in lobbying activities as defined in that Act. This provision is unique in that it prohibits all lobbying by an organization, rather than simply prohibiting lobbying supported by Federal funds. Lobbying is defined here to include, among other things, any communication to legislative branch officials on behalf of a client with regard to formulation, modification, or adoption of Federal legislation.

"None of the funds made available by this Act may be appropriated to any agency for the implementation, enforcement, or administration of section 1501 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the amendments made by such section, as amended."
I think the Rules Committee would be willing (if they haven't already) to accept this because this doesn't "legislate from the floor".

Afrikaans Dutch. aardvark, lit. "earth-pig" (the animal burrows).

Repeat after me Republicans:
This is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. It is not our job to poll every damn piece of legislation to find our position. Some legislation is, a priori, in conflict with the values, laws, and character of our country. This crucial difference between us and Democrats is located in THE FUCKING NAME OF OUR PARTIES if we ever forget.

Most Americans also support tax cuts and more spending and reducing the deficit. Who cares what people support for ObamaCare when they clearly support a laundry list of inconsistent desires?
Find one thing they support (e.g. fiscal responsibility and cutting the deficit), and it will be successful. Then repeat, and you will be associated with something good. Voters will still support those other four things you are not doing or are against because of your stances, and you will be re-elected still because the majority of them are stupid and just like that you are doing something that you wanted them to do.

Cuomo is a liberal, but he isn't a moron. He is the anti-Brown. He is probably one of the few Democrats who "gets it" and is building his resume after Obama bankrupts the nation in 2015 to "save the nation". How many times has a Democrat grabbed the Republican talking points and won with them?
You don't have to look back very far.
Also I want to up the rhetoric.
I suggest we move the large somethingorother collider to Capitol Hill and turn the fucking thing on during the budget talks. Send Frank, Schwakowsky, Dingell, Pelosi, Lee, Waters, Baca, and the rest into a different dimension, and all their programs with it.

To clear up the confusion, the original Arthur book--Arthur's valentine--had an aardvark looking animal as the lead. Apparently the original animal ran into copyright infringement when it was noticed that he looked too much like Bill Mahr. That's when they flattened out the nose.

Joos spending abortion money on car services?
Because that's where the story is.
The speculative religion of the accused?

The Dems claim the Repubs are using a 'meat cleaver.'
I'm hoping for a 'wrecking ball'. Or the biggest fucking axe the world has ever seen.

A fucking rocket-powered chainsaw *might* get us out of this mess.

Because the Might Zero will do exactly Zero about it.
The Iranians took American citizens from Iraq and is trying them as spies. Zero will do NOTHING is the Iranians murder these people, and Raymond Davis, too.
He's not incompetent, he's an enemy of Americans. I am so fucking far past accepting the incompetence defense.
This idiot budget bullshit isn't an attempt to protect liberal shibboleths or an ignorance of basic economics, it's an attack. Like shutting down drilling in the gulf. Sabotage.
Not a stooge, not an idiot. A FUCKING ENEMY.

Students need a federal grant to learn forestry and interact with each other.
/This is why we can't get rid of federal agencies - mission creep and ever-expanding budgets.
