YOU need to read, rather than ASSume. The extension was attached to the war spending bill ( That Bush ASKED for ). He considered vetoing it, but now says he'll sign it. He has done this with several war funding bills, threatwened to veto them, over one issue, or another, then blamed Dems. for not wanting to fund the troops.

Status: online 		The law requiring yearly registration while excessive, will probabley stand ( I have to register my truck, boat, and trailer every year. Doesn't prevent me from owning them. ). The fees, MAY be stuck down ( lowered ) if they are found to be prohibitively high. The post 82' ban, will almost certainly be stuck down.

There were discussions of several GC laws, the day following the court's ruling. One of them incuded bans in public housing. I mistakenly included Chicago's law in this group.

Not in hopes that he'll veto it, but in an effort to get SOMETHING through. Without a veto proof majority the have to attach something THEY want, to something HE wants. THAT'S the game ( like it, or not ), and if you don't think the Republicans play it very well themselves. You are truely blinded by your ideology.

It isn't always about "pork" either. Remember the reconstruction bill the Kerry " voted for, before he voted against"?  The original bill included a provision requiring Iraq to repay the money ( no pork, and made good fiscal sense to me ), Kerry voted FOR this version, and Bush threatened to veto any bill with this provision. The subsequent bill excluded this provision ( Reps still contolled both houses at the time ), and Kerry voted against.

If you look back at these funding bills, the Dems ended up relenting on most, if not all of their requests, and giving Bush what he wanted. Obstructing bass turds that they are.

And of COURSE the Republicans haven't fillibustered any legislation out of existence. NO they'd never do that.

The Dems did their share of fillibustering, and add ons, but PLEASE don't try to tell me the Reps. hands are clean here.

Please explain how it's BS. Bush can ( and has ) stop ANY piece of legislation the Dems pass with his veto, which the Dems lack the votes to override. So for you to suggest that the Dems, are in control, or rather complete control does not compute. They have more power, than when Reps held the two houses, but are far from in control.

Funny, that the Dems seem to control EVERYTHING ( at least in your mind ), whether they hold the white house, both houses, one house, or none. Yet the Reps have NO control, and bear NO responsibilty when they hold one, two, or even all three. It would appear then, that the Republican leadership is incompetent. I can't imagine why anyone would want to elect them to ANY office.

Status: online 		Unless on party holds both the whitehouse, and both chambers ( never works out well, regarless of the party ), it will always breakdown to "You want something, you've got to give something". All, or nothing propositions from either side usually result in nothing. Although if you look back honestly, Bush has pretty consistently gotten everything he has asked for.

Status: offline 		s10, i think the difference is that in 96, a lot of the unemployment was temporary, due to slow business.  today, it is closings that put people out of work.  yeah, it is an election year.  the crap spews from one side to the other.

as for job losses, they have been going on since the late 70s, but snowballed in the 80s and 90s and become epidemic after the millenium.

They will always flucuate some with the season and weather and there is very little the president can do to influence it except stay out of the way and let the feds do their job. The present uptic is due to the high price of oil and no president can control that much short term.

From the 7.4% percent that Clinton started with, 5.6% WAS pretty good, and getting better. From the 3.9% that BUSH started with, 5.5% ain't so good, and looks to get worse.

That is the difference that you can't seem to get.

Also factor in that under Clinton we at least had some fiscal responsibilty,none at all with Bush.Anyone know what every man,woman,and child now are burdened with from the national deficit?I bet it would be 3 times as much today as it was when Clinton left office.I'm too lazy to look it up,though.
