FYI... Chuck Grassley is a member of the Republican Party, not that he and Bernie aren't idiots for putting that provision in the Porkulus bill and Schumer because of temporary illiteracy.

Kim,
The charade has gone on long enough. Tell everyone you're really a writer for The Onion.

America needs more Representatives who will read, discuss and debate before they sign something. I would also help if they would think before they act.

Not long ago in this country, a household could only use one income to qualify for a home mortgage. Houses were smaller (and had smaller carbon footprints!!!!!)if one wage earner lost their job there was less chance of a foreclosure. It was a lot easier to have a stay at home mom or dad in those days. They changed that regulation and homes got bigger, more expensive, and homes became overcrowded with multi-generational families crammed into a house intended for 5 people. Changing that regulation was "CHANGE", but for most of us it was not change for the better.

Representatives like Chuck Schumer have done a lot of hard work to ruin the America I knew. My father told me one day I would understand why he held politicians in such contempt. As usual, he was right.

Senator Schumer was blinded by the bill's transparency, Adrian.

Something that's transparent can be hard to see. Maybe that's what Obama was hoping for.

HAH!!!!

I'd throw in a witty comment about chickens coming home to roost... but I haven't had my morning coffee yet. GRRRRR.

Boo hoo. C'mon Chucky -- nobody cares about the little stuff in this bill.

A stimulus bill that is supposed to put american workers back to work and Chucky is mad banks can't use foreign workers? The dems. The gift that keeps on giving. ww

Tell Chucky not to worry. In a few short months Pelosi and Obama will write a bill that mandates all natural born American citizens will be required to have an H-1B visa. Our "new majority" will be foreigners.

I just can not stand politicans anymore, any of them. They are disgusting. And yet you have people in this country willing to hand over everything to these politicans, who I fear more of destroying this country than any terrorist.
This is how countries/cultures are ruined from the inside...not the outside.

Chucky wouldn't have read it if he had a month to go over it. His Aye vote was cast long before the first word was written on that bill.

Schumer signed a bill that shuts out foreign workers? What a xenophobe!

Strange...he was surprised about the provision. You would think he would know about it.

OH...NO ONE READ IT!

Just, think about all the other "provisions" in this bill that no one knows about. For we know, they made Spanish the official language and Islam the official religion of the US.

Waht other provisions... maybe they sold all the bank account numbers to Nigerian spammers to get money to fund the bailout!

Let's see - what other wacky stuff could be put in?

In medical - Free performance enhancers for men over 60, but you have to prove your inability to perform by taking a certified sex worker to your doctor and demonstrate your 'inability'...

Free furniture for homeless people.

To bump up revenues for auto parts suppliers - a program to give a free car - you assemble, IKEA style - to people who pass a test showing complete mechanical ineptitude. Professional assembly is not permitted.

"Personal Passenger travel modules" about 2x2x6 ft for a 'safety in the skies' program by the TSA. You're loaded into it, double-locked in with an airline-supplied meal and flashlight. Then you're gently loaded into the plane, hooked up to air-conditioning, and transported to the other end. Where they lose the keys.

Just, think about all the other "provisions" in this bill that no one knows about.

Like this one?
The $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that passed Congress last week allocates $19 billion to establish centrally linked health data infrastructure to contain the health information of "each American" by 2014 and to set up the new office of the "National Coordinator for Health Information Technology."

Though the legislation says there is a "prohibition on sale of electronic health records or protected health information," there are five pages of exceptions to the prohibition that include research, treatment of an individual, or a decision by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to wave the prohibition.

Oh c'mon guys, give Chucky a break. We need foreigners for this. Everyone knows banking is one of the jobs Americans don't want to do.

A little humor.

This brought back some memories of a piece I was reading at the Endive ( Its been called a conservative "ONION")

Democrat Sneaks Shopping List into Stimulus Bill

Nancy Pelosi, D-CA raised ire among Republicans and talk radio hosts alike when it was discovered that she snuck her shopping list into the stimulus bill.

"We need to pass this bill immediately," said Pelosi, "Not just because people are losing their jobs, not just because our country is headed to hell in a hand basket, but also because I'd like to get some light mayonnaise so I can make Chicken Marsala Monday night."

You didn't offer your state very good representation in doing that.

I think most of NY would be shocked if he started now.

I think people should be more tollerant of Senator Schumer's having not read the bill before voting for it

I don't think his religion allows him to handle pork

Another weasel-like liar looking to run the h1 and l1 scam to displace and destroy American worker prosperity. I wonder how much of a kickback Chuck is getting from indian lobbyists?

The guest worker programs are a complete sham. They are manipulated to drive down and crush American workers wages and morale with cheap foreign slave labor. Americans are getting more and more outraged at this despicable con game.

Senator Schumer is a traitor to his working class constituents. I hope everyone in NY remembers this at re-election time. Vote this anti-American working class Senator out!!
