If we agree something needs to be subsidized then why does it have to go to PP? Frankly, not one dime should go to that corrupt law-breaking organization.
    This sounds like a case of terminal sperm buildup. You should try getting laid.

    Good summary of the deal, which went down exactly how everybody other than the two fringes thought it would.

    Money quote:

    there will be things social conservatives like in this continuing resolution, but some of what they wanted was bargained away. That benefited Democrats, but it benefited economic conservatives even more.
    which basically means: we all win. Most times when we cut the deficit (even a little), it's good. Any time social conservatives lose, it's good.

    I do wonder if we'll ever find out why PP is corrupt. Patman, won't you please enlighten us? If it's so self evident then you should have no problem validating what you just said.

    Clinton didn't have anything to do with that. Just ask Bob.

    pretty sweeping, Pat,

    I just looked up the allegations... I thought you were brighter than that.

    With all the extra money sloshing around thanks to the stupid actions of the Fed, it's hard to imagine speculative asset prices (such as stocks) dropping appreciably anytime in the short term. Further complicating the impact on the market is the enforcement of any law Congress passes - what happens at the regulatory stage is every bit as important as passing the legislation in the first place (see: 'financial reform'). I'd hazard a guess that with the many exceptions and loopholes that have likely been bought and paid for by various lobbying efforts, there will be minimal impact on most companies' bottom line (and the same can likely be said about the financial reform bill's impact on investment banks).

    How about we give women seeking abortions cervical cancer? That'll teach 'em to play fast and loose with their vaginae.
