Spending Bill Passes House

Every House Republican plus eleven Democrats voted no.

The $953.3. billion (plus interest) bill passed 244 – 188.

And it’s not gonna stimulate squat because it’s pork-full of handouts to Democratic political-interest groups. And massive social spending.

(Obama supporters and voters: Here is your Thank You, tied up in big red trillion dollar bow.)

Notably, the infrastructure bailout part of the plan – the big “job creation” portion – is vastly smaller than was advertised. There’s just $30 billion in highway-related projects, plus another $40 billion for (future) broadband and electric-grid projects.
