IF this passes, and pray it does not, Conservatives needed to start developing arguments now for when the Dems are OUT in 2010 and start crying "you can't change this now......we've already spent $200 billion getting it off the ground!"

Go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/ if you want to see a copy of the OHB proposed budget. They are already planning to / proposing to exceed BUDGETED DEFICITS every year THRU 2019!!!! First - how do we get these bozo's to stop planning for deficits??? Second --- who in their right mind submits a proposal that will exceed an already 'red' bottom line???!!! Is that the way you run your house? This is TREASON! IMPEACH NOW! (or legally carryout the actual penalty for treason!) Is there such a thing as petitioning for a special election to get OHB, Biden, Pelosi and Reid out now.......and all the other wreckless spenders as well??!! If not.....come on 2010! 2012!

[5 of 5] ''Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'

'The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

[4 of 5] Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

'I only got a dollar out of the $20,' declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,' but HE got $10!' 'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too....It's unfair that he got ten times more than me! ''That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two?

The wealthy get all the breaks!

[3 of 5] They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ( 22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

[2 of 5] So, that's what they did. The ten men drank in the bar daily and seemed happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected, still drinking for free. But what about the other six - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'
