Have to wait

until the new budget for 2016 is introduced since they already passed, thru both Houses, the one for 2015......except for the fight that will start over the Homeland Security Budget that will happen in February because it's the only agency that got a 'partial'......

ANY budget though is better than Reid's Senate only having ONE in six years, doncha think? They are required by Constitutional Law to pass one every year, and that was totally ignored without charges by the infamous do-nothing Holder.

I remember that budget

It's the one that the GOP slipped in the rider that cancelled out the Dodd-Frank law. The one that allows banks to make all those bets that brought the country to its knees. This means that, if the gambles pay off, they will be getting billions in bonuses. If the gambles don't pay off, we are stuck with bailing them out again and they still get their bonuses.

Only a part of Dodd-Frank

has been changed.....Dems agreed and voted for it as well....and BO signed it. IF anything bad happens, it will be because, like they did during Clinton's terms, the government has decided to allow FannieMae/FreddieMac to reduce the downpayment requirement for house buying back down to 3% in order to have normally unqualified people all of a sudden qualify.....and we know how that turned out, don't we?

It seems like I only paid 3% when I bought this house in

GOP Reps Tom Price and Ted Yoho Are "Grubering" Voters on Amnesty


It is time for Tom Price and Ted Yoho to stop trying to pull a "Gruber" for the cheap labor wing of the business community and stand for America's hard-pressed taxpayers and working families in Florida and Georgia whose economic future will be devastated by President Obama's unconstitutional amnesty plan.

We urge you to call Congressmen Yoho and Price (the Capitol Switchboard is 1-866-220-0044) and tell them you are on to the game and that they should stop trying to "Gruber" voters and pass a bill that actually defunds Obama's unconstitutional amnesty plan and prohibits the President from granting work permits, Social Security, and Medicare to some 5 million illegal immigrants—reducing wages, jobs, and benefits for Americans.


Someone more conservative than you?

Seems to be a Tea Partier site...What's up with that? You expect great things from Price and this site isn't as enthusiastic?

I completely agree that
Dec 29, 2014 2:33AM PST

a bill should be passed to stop BO's amnesty crap.......and if Price and Yoho are supporting BO's moves, shame on them and they should go as quickly as possible...and shame on Jeb Bush as well. Can you say the same for Dems who are on board with this garbage Executive Memo?

So you've had a "rude awakening" and you're withdrawing your support of Price, and he shouldn't be head of the House Budget Committee?

I think you should wait until the dust settles before you go around giving out bouquets and throwing brickbats.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

I didn't say anything of the kind

regarding 'rude awakening'.....I'm only pointing out that when I don't agree with a Republican I have no problem saying it.....unlike you and other liberals when it comes to the Dems.

shame on them and they should go as quickly as possible

and you still support them?

They appreciate your support....Everyone else has blinders on?

What does it take for you to stop supporting them?
