Now this is lame even for lame ducks. But as I always say: fascism is transactional and this is probably the last time a Democrat Congress will be able to 'giterdone' for the boys back home for many years. Make hay while the sun shines so to speak. Hattip Jim Geraghty
Boy, it wouldn't be the last gasps of the Democrat-run Congress without one more last-minute avalanche of runaway spending, huh? The Hill sets the stage: "Senate Democrats have filed a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill that would fund the government through fiscal year 2011, according to Senate GOP sources. The 1,924-page bill includes funding to implement the sweeping healthcare reform bill Congress passed earlier this year as well as additional funds for Internal Revenue Service agents, according to a senior GOP aide familiar with the legislation. The package drew a swift rebuke from Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. 'The attempt by Democrat leadership to rush through a nearly 2,000-page spending bill in the final days of the lame-duck session ignores the clear will expressed by the voters this past election,' Thune said in a statement. 'This bill is loaded up with pork projects and should not get a vote. Congress should listen to the American people and stop this reckless spending.'"
