At the end of a week dominated by images of death and destruction after the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti, Van Hollen said lawmakers likely will approve whatever relief money the president requests. Obama has already asked for $100 million.
“We want to help people who need relief immediately, and so to that extent I support it,” Van Hollen said.
First of all I don't know much about this reconciliation thing...but it appears as if the "D's" are doing what "D's" to best; changing the rules in the middle of the game. I mean come on folks, if the roles were reversed (I know it is hard to believe because I have yet to meet a "R" with a pair of cajones to even allow a thought like that to occur.) do you think Pelosi/Reid/Schumer et al would allow it to happen? If you do, I have this nice little island I want to sell you and the population of the island will be much smaller by the end of the week.
Which segues into my 2nd point nicely. Um, Congressman Van Hollen how about helping out the AMERICANS who need "relief immediately" from the moronic policies of our federal government. I don't know, I'm thinking there are a few folks who could use some of that "relief immediately" here on our own shores. I would recommend a 6-month moratorium on all taxes (Federal, State and Local...I know, but I am a bit of an anarchist) Bit I digress...that doesn't get you a photo op with god. (PBO)
Morons.
