The so-called Omnibus--which is really just another name for stuffing as much sh*t as possible into one tight little package--is actually nine bills and covers nearly the entire domestic budget for the year, plus U.S. contributions to global health and foreign aid.
Loaded with enough individual "perks" ($7.7 billion!) to lure eight Republicans over to the dark side, the ambitious bill also increases spending on food and consumer product safety agencies, the FBI, Wall Street regulators and tax enforcement, as well as education and science initiatives, investments in sustainable energy and landmark public works programs from the first stimulus.
Despite objections from the usual one man pork patrol of John S. McCain and a few congressman who believe Cuban-American relations should stay stuck in the 1950s, President Barack Obama is expected to quickly sign the measure into law.
You know, so government operations don't shut down. And cause he never gets tired of watching old Johnny boy go off the deep end.
What, What, What!?

Lets keep packing those spending bills in. Don't they realize that we are going down unless we spend A LOT of money. Its okay to give the banks billions and billions of dollars, but education? science? enforcement? How dare they.
