Dems fight over funds left from bailout
2009-11-21
Congressional Democrats could be careening toward a head-on collision with the White House over $200 billion in leftover bailout money — money that Republicans think should simply be returned to taxpayers.

The Treasury Department is pushing for fiscal prudence and wants to use the money to pay down the deficit and keep a small rainy-day fund in case of economic catastrophe.

But Democrats are salivating over the possibility of $200 billion in unspent money.

#5  Those Donks wanting the money - just pair them off, tie their left hands, and give each partner a knife.

Boy, it's going to take a while to get to the finals on that big of a competition. >:-}

If they really want the money to buy another election for their district, let them fight for it. No substitutes. Sell the television rights for the Treasury. We'll see how important it is for them.

#1  I'm "salivating over the possibility" of ridding this county of the Democrats in 2010,2012,and 2014. Spend the $200 BILLION and the D stands for Dismissed .
