ok lets put it in stupid terms. You are at home and you are going over all you bills,when you find out you owe 20,000 dollars. Ok now you need to find a way to balance your bills lets see you can ether cut spending on the least important things or, heres the big one, you ready for it ok, you can call your bank and take out a loan for 40,000. 20,000 to pay off bills and 20,000 to live on for the year. Oh wait tat cant work because now I owe 40,000 instead of 20,000. Now im going to barrow 80,000

mcCain was on ticket for no earmarks Obama was on ticket for earmark reform going though line for line as well publick helping with deciding earmarks so hey thats what he is doing lol get facts straight

looking at 35 repubs voting against earmarks in this bill who asked for them Mitch McConnell R-Ky 35 earmarks $51 mil, Lindsey Graham R-S.C. 14 earmarks $9.5 mil

list goes on its at the bottom of my tv screen right now wow

[hellotommy]

And the republicans shoot themselves in the foot again by republican appropriators adding 40% of the earmarks to the omnibus. Sure they feel entitled it's, business as usual. That is not the dems prob., they are in total control. If Repubs want to make headway with real Americans you will have to make tough choices. Dump the pork! Back up what you say. You lose cred because you are as guilty as the dems. Stop whining about it and do something about it. Both parties are hideous.

[TheD2250]

Are you a complete moron? Or just simply choose what you want to hear?

So repubs added 40%, the issue here is that Obama bludgeoned us to death during the campaign about how he would veto any bills that contained earmarks. You crazy left wingers amaze me with your audacity to ignore blatant lies and attempt to turn them around on us. How pathetic. The boy isn't ready for this job, and it's not-so-slowly, but certainly surely, proving to be true.

[hellotommy]

You have ZERO credibility if you do not practice what you preach. I'm a strict fiscal Conservative. The republicans are light weight Dems in my book.

Spending so far:

$18,584 per household, this is cruel and irresponsible economic warfare waged against We The People.

That's what I think.

[flang]

"campaign about how he would veto any bills that contained earmarks"

Might want to learn some facts, he never said he was against all earmarks.

He is for reforming the Earmark process, do you realize that he has no line item veto?

To cut out the earmarks is useless, as the money is still in the bill. You morons that don't even understand how Congress works rally against earmarks, not even understanding its the appropriation you should be crying about.

[WHACKBUSH]

Nope. he never, ever promised to veto or ban all earmarks. Never. Just didn't happen. Ever. You must be the complete moron.

[hellotommy]

omnibus appropriations bill - $410 billion (the bill contains 7,991 pet projects totaling $5.5 billion,)

Nearly $800 billion stimulus bill

A $3.55-trillion budget outline for fiscal year 2010

And we are just getting started.

The Dem party is owned and operated by Union thugs, Global communist, Sexual Degenerates like Barny Frank, Criminals.

[hellotommy]

Obamas first-year legislative agenda, we know what kind of a war he intends to wage.

It is no wonder that markets are imploding around us. Obama is giving us the War on Business.

Imagine that some hypothetical enemy state spent years preparing a Manchurian Candidate to destroy the U.S. economy once elected. What policies might that leader pursue? discourage private capital from entering the financial sector, repeatedly promise a brilliant rescue plan, but never actually have one...

[cowthief101]

WHAT?! OVER 9000?!

[girzwald3]

It just keeps going up!

*scanner blows up*

[ytdsmom]

dhLord64:

It's not "who" put the earmarks in (Repub or Dem)....it's that Obama is going to sign it after saying he was against earmarks

I guarantee you McCain would veto

The ONLY campaign promise Obama has kept thus far is to "redistribute wealth"

[ytdsmom]

dhLord64:

Excuse me, do your homework.

Do you not know that this bill doesn't even HAVE to be completed/signed? They can put it on the backburner & we'll simply go off the last budget appropriations. But oh no -- they're in a hurry because it increases the budget now another 8%

Go back & review Obama's comments during the campaign --- he said he wouldn't sign a bill w/wasteful earmarks

[ytdsmom]

dhLord64:

OBAMA'S BROKEN PROMISES

He said it wouldn't be the same old politics & have people from both sides. LIE. Appointed mostly hard-core LEFT

He said no lobbyist. LIE. Several in his admin

Guantanamo Bay? How odd that the same didn't apply for Afghanistan captives. They will NOT have the U.S Court system. Gitmo is "PR"

Transparency? LIE. Repubs shut out & he didn't allow 48 hrs on that Fri saying it's "emergency" stimulus, yet went on vacation for the wkend

[ytdsmom]

You actually believe the "not raise taxes on 95% of Americans"?

Obama Gas Tax - WHO do you think pays for this? Everyone, including the poor. Cost of food & goods will rise too

Obama Cap/Trade: MANY people's utility bills will rise. It's passed on to THEM

Obama Corporate Tax increase: The cost of EVERYTHING increases. Plus, employers will pay less for employee's health insurance, fewer raises, more layoffs

And don't think Obama doesn't know all of this

[MonsterBobBurns]

PERFECT!
