Once again, the party of SPEND is doing everything within their power to ensure America gets into a financial hole that it has no chance of ever, ever getting out of.

On Sunday, the Senate will vote on passage of a $1.1 TRILLION spending bill that will “give Cabinet departments such as Education, Health and Human Services and State increases far exceeding inflation”.

Because that what a congress that’s even remotely interested in fiscal responsibility in times of economic crisis and high unemployment does.

From FOX:

The measure provides spending increases averaging about 10 percent to programs under immediate control of Congress, blending increases for veterans’ programs, NASA and the FBI with a pay raise for federal workers and help for car dealers.

After a 60-36 test vote on Friday in which Democrats and a handful of Republicans helped the measure clear another Republican obstacle, the bill was expected to win the 60 Senate votes Saturday necessary to guarantee passage. A final vote is expected Sunday.

Does anyone doubt that the names of that ‘handful of Republicans’ will include the RINO twins, Snowe and Collins?

Repeat after me: ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
