Midknight Review -- new and revised: Open Congress reports on the first major spending bill to fail since Obama took office.

Editor's notes: understand that the battle is not over spending but deficit spending. It is the Dems who passed "paygo," a legislated order that all funding bills be paid for. It is the Dems who violated that restriction with the very next bill passed through Congress. This current bill is an important one for those who are out of the work and need help but there are those who are demanding that it be paid for. . . . . . . . . and they are the evil ones !!!?

From the great folks at OpenCongress: After two weeks of solid debate — and two weeks of people having their unemployment insurance cut off because of congressional inaction — the Senate this morning took their first test vote on passing H.R. 4213, the “American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010.” They failed miserably. The final vote count was 45-52. Sixty votes were needed to proceed. . . . . . No Republicans voted in favor of the motion, and 11 Democrats broke rank and voted with Republicans against it. . . . you will want to read the full report here.

This is the first major spending bill in 17 months that has failed. Why now? The 2010 midterms are just around the corner. Note that 11 Democrat Senators voted "no" to a spending bill that represents and increase of $80 billion more in deficit spending. Let the games -- and we do mean "games" -- begin !!
keys: deficit spending, HR 4213, paygo

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
