Secret back room deal making, tons of added pork, and lots of "lets just enter it as read rather than actually reading it" game playing. Several Senators have called for a total scrapping of the mess, but will be over ruled or bought out as usual. Mean time, the debt piles on, the economy continues to tank, and they grow even more out of touch with what America wants and needs.
Sometimes, I think Arni's quote about pulling out and nuking them from space fits our government....this is one of them. Good thing the only thing nuclear in my hands is a bottle of hot sauce. LOL

The first of a series of votes is set for Monday at 1 a.m., on a so-called manager's amendment, consisting of amendments crafted in the last week-and-a-half by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
At the request of Republicans, the entire package of amendments -- 383 pages -- was being read Saturday, for hours, on the Senate floor.
The Senate could vote on the entire bill, a top priority of President Obama, before Christmas.
"If [Democrats] were proud of this bill, they wouldn't be doing it this way," McConnell said. "They wouldn't be jamming it through in the middle of the night on the last weekend before Christmas."
