Wow... that is a ton of money, and a huge increase in just 6 months of this fiscal years...

Gee, I thought all appropriations must begin in the House. And didn't the GOP win the House last November? What have they been doing all this time, cutting taxes for the rich?

The answer to that would be yes.

I see Obama being slammed every day on this forum for unemployment beginning on January 1, 2009, three weeks prior to even taking office, but I imagine the House Republicans are going to be allowed a much longer easing in period, right?
