Sheep. You are wrong as well. As long as there are people who care that the fed reserve is destroying our economy this would be brought up. It was brought up before when Obama wasn't in office. Just look it up but I doubt you care since only the sheeple and the lazy wouldn't care if this doesn't come up for a vote.

I agree, and it looks like the GOP may indeed gain enough seats in the Senate to take the majority after November 2012. Of the 33 Senators up for reelection, 23 of them are Democrats and 10 are Republican. The GOP need only four seats to take the majority in the Senate.

Probably because there's too many liberal SoCal transplants here from the housing boom! He does NOT represent most of NV, just most of Las Vegas voted for him. Hopefully people here will wake up to how ridiculously horrible he's done for the country and vote him out next time! Luckily Heller is ahead in the polls instead of the crazy and corrupt Berkley for the other Senate seat. So we can have at least one fiscally minded person out there in DC (DC = Deranged & Crazy).

Senate passes Democratic tax plan, rejects GOP version - CNN.com

Why do people keep voting for scumbag Republicans? They aren't even going to bring the bill up for a vote. How can they do this? what scumbags!!

From the article:
"The U.S. Senate on Wednesday passed a Democratic plan to extend the Bush-era tax cuts for middle income Americans while rejecting a Republican alternative to continue all of the cuts"
"GOP leaders in the House have indicated they have no intention of bringing the Democrats' plan to a vote."


anyway...as you can see, both sides do this. They don't want to be put on record about anything. Things are decided before it even hits a vote which is what I think is wrong. I'm sure if they were forced to vote, and this goes for both sides, many would take a contrary stance because they know their state/district/whatever is going to have their head if they vote yes/no on something. It's easier to say one thing and then hide behind not even having to vote

Reid called for an audit before.

I'm still waiting for you to answer my question. What state do you live in?

The people of Nevada liked Reid enough to re-elect him.

The federal reserve is audited twice a year. No reason to audit it a third time.

We agree. Mark that down.

Federal Reserve Audit Bill Overwhelmingly Passes The House
I thought someone would have covered it by now. Harry Reid is in office because of who the Republicans decided to run against him. Sharon Angle...are you serious. Try harder next time.
