Another massive piece of legislation, that no one will have read before voting on. See, the democrats Left congress this year without passing a budget, an unprecedented maneuver that avoided the catastrophic political damage of more spending and taxation exposed right before an election. That is "change" in DC we can believe in.
Lobbyists and congressional aides say Democratic appropriators are mulling a 12-bill omnibus to fund the government in 2011 after the current stopgap measure expires in early December.
Several lobbyists said Republicans haven’t been involved in discussions and are predicting a partisan battle in the lame-duck session over the omnibus.
Election-year politics and concerns over spending prevented Democrats from passing any of the 12 annual appropriations bills before lawmakers left Washington at the end of September.

Dems have to hurry up and SPEND, SPEND, SPEND before Obama's "spending freeze" takes place on January 1st.
Just more ammunition for debates and town hall meetings during the next 2 weeks to ask how Democrat encumbents and new hopefuls would vote on yet another $1T+ of deficit spending.
Quite frankly we should do away with these post-election "lame-duck" sessions. Fired elected representatives should be treated like fired employees at a private business. They should have their things packed up and waiting for them and escorted from Capitol Hill offices to their private transportation home. End of story, no returning to steal from the taxpayer pockets.

I keep getting there too late to post the things you post. This is one of your very best of today. Actually, there should be nothing resembling a Lame Duck legislative session since there will be some serious fighting to avoid them spending another trillion this year. They have already spent $3 triliion this year and put us another $1.3 trillion in the hole. I really believe that Nasty Nancy will do everything she can to get even if her people lose control.
Got any actual bill numbers so I can research that?
I didn't think so.
Try OMNIBUS to do your researching. There will certainly be something to take the place of the supposedly required budget that should have been approved by Congress by now.

Are you talking about a budget resolution, or the actual spending bills necessary to keep the government running?
They aren't the same.
