Dosed with pcp to quote Rachel Maddow gop leaders bankruptly abandoned the strategy they had announced hours earlier to avoid a Government Shutdown. The plan was to pass a debt ceiling bill that included everything from gutting wall street reform to undoing environmental regulations as well as what White House Press secretary jay carney said yesterday. The only thing i didnt see mentioned was a birther bill. Even this did not satisfy about two dozen of the most extreme members of John Boehners house of crazy cards who want to duke it out over the looming shutdown before moving on to the catastrophic debt ceiling. With the house party caucus unable to support anything less than deporting the president to kenya in exchange for paying bills, a Government Shutdown appears more and more likely. As political rights, nobody, not even those in charge, know how the budget battle will end or if it will end. Or perhaps nancy pelosi described the republican plan best. I dont know that they even kn
Military action when it is not strictly necessary. That does not mean fighting a allies wantthe u. S. Us to. The u. S. Should not extend halfhearted commitments.

Understand most of the time. Maybe thats true. Most of the time theres someone on the legislators staff who understands it. Thats not necessarily the case with intelligence bill. On the senate side you have one dedicated staffer who is clear, who can talk to their boss about these things. On the house side they are pretty dependent on the committee staff. For example sessen brenner who wrote freedom acts bill is completely cut out of the negotiations with the administration over what to include in the final version of the reform bill. This is nothing i reported, in cq. He didnt have sufficient security clearance. You have a situation where you have some legislators for one reason or another may not be the best prepared to grasp these particular issues, who dont have the necessary staff to help them grasp it. Theres another aspect to this, too. I think its a little harder for the public and for the media to grasp it as well. Its not like health insurance. Health care policies are very c

Revives the Paycheck Protection Program with a cash infusion and it extends the Eviction Moratorium and also provides funding for vaccine distribution. Now, it does not provide liability shield for businesses. It does not provide money for state and local governments and it does not provide direct aid to the Restaurant Industry which has been so hardhit already. Many lawmakers are complaining the bill doesnt go far enough. But, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says it hits the mark but he blames Speaker Pelosi for holding it up for so long. Well, so its noteworthy that at the end they finally gave us what we could have agreed to back in july. I think what held it up was they did not want to do anything before the president ial election. I think they felt that that would disadvantage the president. Griff its a far cry from where Speaker Pelosi began negotiating this summer a n
