OTOH AIG had another nice party and someone is getting a lot of

No accountability either AFAIK. Just
free money ... How did this get started again?

The dems are pilfering the money. Nothing new there.

They are not running things yet.
Bushco is.
So you lied. Again.

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.
