Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price discusses the big-government handout that Democrats are going to push through Congress. The final version of the bill even has hand written notes that allow for more irresponsible spending.
Democrats made the bill available at 11 p.m. on Thursday night. At 9 a.m. Friday morning, the House begins debate on the bill. If members of Congress actually took the time to read the bill, they would have to read through the night at a rate of 626 words per minute before heading to the House floor. What are the odds of that happening?

As Glenn Beck mentioned today on radio and probably on his TV show, Dem House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who pushed harder than ever before in her life to rush this fraudulent, socialism-boosting bill through to a vote, got it done just in time for her to jet off to Europe.
“There’s not much else you can say to describe the agonizing events surrounding this craptastic spending bill other than Nancy Pelosi sucks. This time it’s because she rushed the vote on nearly 1,071 page stimulus so she can jet off to Europe.”
Matt Drudge featured the story on his from page, saying,
HURRY, FELLAS, LET’S VOTE, I AM OFF TO ROME!
Fri Feb 13 2009 09:18:52 ETRep. John Culberson, TX claims the “stimulus” bill must be urgently voted on today—because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!
Culberson made the charge on Houston’s KSEV radio.
Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there’s a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.
Calls to Pelosi’s spokesman went unreturned.
In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted that none of his Senate colleagues would ‘have the chance’ to read the entire final version of the 1,071-page bill before it comes up for a final vote.
Pelosi’s rushed pre-vacation House vote went nice and quickly (the bill was approved 246-183), but no Republicans voted for the fraud, and even seven Democrats voted AGAINST it. The Senate gets it later this evening.
