Republicans cut out of stimulus negotiations

Just to show how desperate the Democrats in congress are to pass their huge pork-laden bill they call a “stimulus” package, they are attempting to shove this $1.3 trillion spending bill through in the dead of the night without Republican input so floor action can take place in both chambers on Thursday.

Republicans have caught the Democrats in a midnight “stimulus” power play that seeks to cut Republican conferees out of the House-Senate negotiations to resolve a final version of the Obama “stimulus” package. Staff members from the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) met last night to put together the “stimulus” conference report.

The American people deserve to know that legislation that would comprise an amount equal to the entire discretionary budget of the United States of America is being crafted without a single House Republican in the room.

Never before has a political party been this heavy-handed, bullying and domineering in their efforts to cram a bill of this magnitude down taxpayers throats!
