Reid Says He Has the Votes

I believe they call it wishfull thinking...earlier, I listened to obama on the stimulus package, and why it was so important to vote on it, and get it passed as quickly as possible to save the economy, and the world......I was in the gym working out, with several people all around me, and not one was intrested on what he had to say, come to think of it, neither was I, but for once, I felt that I should....I was somewhat stunned, nobody appeared to give a crispy

the reason he wants it passed quickly is he doesn't want anyone looking into the pork thats in it. the longer the senate has it the more pig they find. someone needs to take a ball bat to reids head. he is an antagnoist.

Those neocon holdovers from the bush/cheney admin had better get off their high falutin' horses and get on the band wagon. After all, the first part of this massive distribution of American Tax dollars was given out to corporations and stock holders with absolutely no oversight. Send that money directly BACK to each taxpaying American citizen and we will spurr the economy.

DEMOCRATS PARTY ON TAXPAYERS' DIME; $500K SPENT ON CAUCUS RETREATS

The House Democratic Caucus spent more than $500,000 in taxpayer money over the past five years for its annual retreats at resorts in Pennsylvania and Virginia.

On Thursday, Democrats will head to the Kingsmill Resort and Spa in historic Williamsburg, Va., for the three-day planning powwow. The resort boasts multiple championship golf courses, a full-service spa and six restaurants.
It would have been really good PR to stay home and bring a box lunch,”
Individual lawmakers pay for most of the expenses related to retreat lodging through their campaign committees, but the Democratic Caucus subsidizes some of the costs for what aides consider “official business” — to the tune of nearly $100,000 each year, according to a Democratic aide involved in retreat planning.

For instance, the caucus picks up the hefty transportation tab, as well as the thousands of dollars in expenses each year for guest speakers, food and entertainment, according to financial disbursement records.

Democratic leadership sources were reluctant to talk about any aspect of the trip, but they defended it as an important planning session for the entire country.

“This retreat is strategic planning for the country,” said Democratic Caucus spokeswoman Emily Barocas. “The president, vice president and three Cabinet secretaries will be meeting with the caucus to plan the direction we are taking the country in.”

The topic is particularly sensitive this year after several Democratic lawmakers slammed American International Group (AIG) executives for spending more than $440,000 at a company retreat in Monarch Beach, Calif., just days after the federal government bailed the company out with $85 billion in taxpayer funds.
