House roll call vote 245-178: Another $410 billion down the drain
The House passed Porkzilla 2.0 — the $410 billion omni-waste spending bill – this afternoon.
The roll call vote is here.
Drink the Kool-Aid and repeat after me: There are no earmarks.
In one of many untold, underhanded maneuvers, the House bill had a measure buried in it that will kill school choice in the rotten public schools of Washington, D.C.
For the children.
Of course.

I think I am going to enjoy attending a Tea Party tomorrow.
I don’t agree with everything Walt Minnick does, but the more I see him on these votes, the more he’s showing up on the right side of the issues.
Thanks, Walt. You’re listed as “D” on paper, but I’ll consider you a fiscal conservative.
Now, about that S-CHIP vote…
My favorite part of this is $5,000 for Crime Stoppers for Bee County Tx. There are 32,000 people in Bee County TX so if they raised the $$ themselves it would only be 16 cents a person.
WHY THE HELL AM I PAYING FOR CRIME STOPPERS IN BEE COUNTY TEXAS???????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I’m really steamed to think that it probably cost the American people $10,000 to get that $5k to Texas.
BASTARDS!!!
