Senate Approves Budget, Breaking Spending Limits

By CARL HULSE
Published: March 17, 2006

WASHINGTON, March 16 — The Senate narrowly approved a $2.8 trillion election-year budget
Thursday that broke spending limits only hours after it increased federal borrowing power
to avert a government default.

The budget decision at the end of a marathon day of voting followed a separate 52-to-48
Senate vote to increase the federal debt limit by $781 billion, bringing the debt ceiling
to nearly $9 trillion. The move left Democrats attacking President Bush and Congressional
Republicans for piling up record debt in their years in power.

Despite calls by Republican deficit hawks to hold the line, Senate Republicans joined with
Democrats to approve more than $16 billion in added spending for social, military, job safety
and home-heating programs, exceeding a ceiling established by President Bush.

In separate action, the House advanced $92 billion in war spending and hurricane recovery money.

SNIP-->
Senator Tom Harkin, the Iowa Democrat who joined with Mr. Specter in seeking the increase
for health and education, said the vote showed that his Republican colleagues were
"recognizing the American people want something different than the president's budget."

Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader,
said Thursday that given Mr. Bush's record,
"I really do believe this man will go down as the worst president this country has ever had."

:rofl:

2. Don't be so sure that the nation will survive the next 1000 days.
He still has plenty of time to destroy the country.

3. I think Harry should stop hiding his feelings and just say what he thinks
The man from Stoplight speaks. Or is it Searchlight? What ever, one of those Nevada metropolises.

8. Hmmmm
Sorry Harry, but history may also say the Dems should have had a Feingold or Boxer in your place. Playing nice with criminals didn't slow Bushco down, now, did it.

11. I agree...
What a wimp. Stop using pathetic rhetoric and do something like grow a damn spine and fight back when you're given an opportunity to.

His and the other DC Dems backpeddling from Russ proves that it's not just Republicans we need to declare war on in November.

12. Psst...Harry...look over there
On your own side of the aisle, Feingold, Harkin, Boxer actually trying to DO something about "the worst president ever"

They're giving you a chance, Harry. Grab it. Rhetoric, no matter how pointed, doesn't get it.
