You are definately confused as to how the Federal Government runs.
Then explain the $2 trillion dollars that the Fed has already given out
wihtout oversight and refuses to reveal recipients.

The
Congress is the only group who can pass a spending bill, the only ones
who
can say we spend this money. The Executive Branch can approve or veto
the
bill with their Check and Balance part of government. But it is only
Congress who can first say lets spend money and tell the rest of
government to spend money and how much they can spend. And the
Democrats have been in control of the checkbook for nearly 2 years.
Bush and the Republicans sux. But so does the Democrats and Pelosi,
expecially Pelosi, and Reid.
You cannot gloss over the 6 years of a Republican congress so easily and
blame the next class for their bending over and dropping their trousers
for Bush/Cheney.

Did not say the Republicans were angels. I stated the facts of life re
our government and who actually gets to vote to spend money. And yes, if
the spending bill passes, the money HAS TO BE SPENT. A Democrat Congress
got that ruling years ago. Used to be the Executive branch controlled a
lot of the pork overspending, by just not spending the money. But
Congress did not like fiscal responsibility.
http://www.auburn.edu/~johnspm/gloss/impoundment is a decent explanation.
We need an Executive Branch to take the ruling to the Supremes. The
problem for at least the last 8 years, is a President who did not veto
overspending. And the $5 trillion, not $2 trillion is not money spent, so
no appropriation bill was required. It is what we committed to cover and
keeps growing. We are screwed.


Absolutely screwed, the only solution is massive inflation.

Got your bug-out bags packed?


Congress could have stayed the Treasury and let all the weak
banks and investment houses fail. There would have been an abrupt
downturn with firings, etc.

In about a year the derivative and mortgage losses would have
surfaced and largely worked their way through the system.

Congress could have reinstated the Glass-Spiegal Act and those
responsible for the fraud would be prosecuted.

In about two years it would have ended with the system intact and the
economy rebounding.

But they didn't. Now we are faced with what could well be another 25 year
long depression only this time it's likely to be worse.

Like the stuff in HIS budget or what he demanded, such
a ths "bailout" (now 5 trillion at least it looks like).
Note that congress only signed off on about 750 billion of that
5 trillion. For an "emergency".

Thank the Fed for the extra money. The same Fed who's previous head, said
they were superior to any Federal agency. No Federal Control!

actually the confusion is all yours

congress authorizes spending
but its the president that actually does the spending

so any complaint about spending all goes to shrub
until 20 jan 2009 - end of an error


He endorsed the check that the democratic congress just wrote. He
could have not signed the bill, but the dems would have found another
way to pilfer the country.

Thanks for the clarification.

its simpler than that

the treasury is part of the executive
they have to get permission to spend money from congress
but actually spending the money is done with the presidents authority
who decides exactly what to spend and when and who to pay
and usually congress leaves many details unspecified
which the president makes specific

so if there is disgruntlement on how money is being spent
until 20 jan 2009 its all up to shrub

the only real responsibility that can be laid on congress
is if they dont authorize enough spending
