This scares me

From FoxNews GretaWire (Greta Van Susteren)

450 pages that they are going to vote on and the almost 0% chance that they have read it all (or any part of it at all). 

They want to vote on a economic stimulus bill to bail on the banks  but they have no idea what is in it.  I say leave everything alone.  It took us a while to get into this problem and we are not going to fix it by going to the government and asking for money.  Sure it will hurt.  Getting fat hurts, but the diet to loose weight hurts.  We have been feeding at the pig trough too long.  Time to go on a diet.

IANAE though....

One more thing...  if pro is the opposite of con then progress is the opposite of....... (fill in the blank, it should be obvious)

An Embarrassment Of Riches:

"When Congress gets involved, however, beware of slippery slopes. These ministries should comply with tax laws. But Senate investigations could go beyond requiring accountability under current law and lead to new IRS regulations monitoring the internal affairs of churches and other religious groups. And that would have far-reaching consequences for the autonomy and freedom of religious communities. Today Kenneth Copeland Ministries, tomorrow your church."

I am not saying that the churches under question have done wrong, or that they are squaeky clean either. Then again, what ministry has not got some misuse under its hat. Mr. Haynes has hit the nail square on the head here. Let the IRS do its job, then step in if and when you have to. Otherwise you are going to open up a can of worms that will not go back in the can easily.
