You are not going to believe this- ..... but:

I just checked the House record, and the only vote held tonight was NOT the debt ceiling bill.

Take a look at this- the official record of what took place:




Now, when you look at the record, that was roll call vote number 690 that scored a 269-161 vote for passage.

But what actually WAS vote 690 on?

It turns out roll call 690 was on a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BILL. It was on a technical amendment to the Educational Sciences bill.


Folks- I may be a conspiracy theorist, but I just think the entire nation was subject to a flim-flam maneuver.


Somebody please prove me wrong. Please. Show me what bill and what vote number in the record is this so-called debt ceiling bill they supposedly passed.

PLEASE show me.


Bueller?

They do that all the time to save time and allow them to get a bill passed because the rider is more important then the bill it's attached to. So the Senate [Liberals] killed two birds with one stone.:nuts:

Nothing like a manufactured crisis to push some more crap through congress. What about those 3 days the bills were supposed to be publicly available/viewable?
Vote them all out.

Hey, it's not the politician's fault, the wolf was at the door, again. Somebody had to do something to save us, fast, there just wasn't time for all that proper procedure stuff, those kind of crisis' are best handled behind closed doors so as not to scare anybody.

They got us into this mess and now they're supposed to be the ones to get us out.

We're screwed...

Hooray!!!!

The CBO scored this austerity package. It cuts to the bone. I don't know how we all will survive. Look at page 11 to view the doom that awaits.

Oh, my God, in FY2012 we will cut the annual expenditures by $21 Billion. The Treasury is projecting FY2012 expenditures of $3,728.

We have cut expenditures by 0.5633%.

Just a tad over 1/2 of 1%.

Armageddon :nuts:
