Why, they've done nothing... absolutely nothing. It's hard to tell the difference between them and Frist and Hastert.

I don't understand the big hub-bub about the 1.5 Billion Washington Metro Transit Authority Request.

The House of Reps only agreed to pay 1.5 Bill over 10 years if...IF...Maryland and Virginia agree to match it.

Sounds like the states and the feds are working together to solve a problem that if you wait longer will only become worse. I lived in the area and have seen the congestion and the commute times first hand.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

They need to just do away with any add ons and this kind of stuff. That or they should have to vote yes or no on each individual ad-on. Both Democrats and Republicans abuse them and cost tax payers billions with pork.

It'd be nice....but never hapen...to much money to be made by throwing in an amendment for some lobby. Probably not even germaine to the bill...but then again...rules in Washington...are simply there to be broken.
