1) 21 Republicans Vote With Democrats To Proceed On 4,000-Page Stimulus Budget Blow-Out Bill
With Democrats only needing help from 10 Senate Republicans to pass the bill, this was an inauspicious start. Here is the list:

We’re especially disappointed in Tom Cotton of Arkansas – who is allegedly a fiscal conservative.

2) Republicans Prepare To Punt On $130 Billion Of Automatic PAYGO Spending Cuts

UGGH!

We have urged Republicans not to agree to waive PAYGO budget caps without replacing the scheduled automatic $130 billion with a package of spending cuts – starting with ending the $80 billion for 87,000 new IRS agents.

Instead, the omnibus does even worse than waiving PAYGO – it ends the budget caps for two years. Worse, the $130 billion doesn't count in the bill's official $1.7 trillion price tag – so the REAL cost of the bill is closer to $1.83 trillion.

But what’s a few tens of billions of dollars we don’t have between friends?

3) Progressives Are Back To Funding Population Control To Save The Planet

Apparently, Thomas Malthus is now a member of Congress. The omnibus provides half a billion dollars to encourage women in places like Africa, Asia, and the Middle East to have fewer children so we can protect habitat and “biodiversity.”

We guess the greens now have concluded that a good strategy to save the planet is for there to be fewer brown and black children. (Sounds to us like a policy the Ku Klux Klan would fully embrace!)

Incidentally, these 1970s’ style population control agencies, which they now euphemistically call “Family Planning,” run the same gruesome programs that encouraged and financed infanticide, forced abortions, sterilizations, and one-child policies in poor countries around the world. The supporters are the same people who profess to be “pro-choice” and lecture about “a woman’s right to choose.”

As our hero, the late, great Julian Simon taught us all (except for liberal Democrats) human beings are assets, not liabilities. Someone needs to remind Congress that the big population problem in most parts of the world today is too few children, not too many.

4) Aren’t You Glad Republicans Voted To Bring Back Earmarks?
Can anyone explain why a country that is running a $22 trillion national debt and a $1 trillion annual deficit is spending money on this nonsense? And by the way, there are hundreds more of these tucked away in the 4,000 pages.

5) Rand Threatens To Force A Full Floor Reading Of The Bill
Great idea. This will keep the congress-critters trapped in Washington until New Years!
