Today Paul Ryan donned a fur-lined red suit with a pillow beneath ... all he needs now is a red hat and to whiten his beard ... to validate his position as the Santa Clause of Congress. The House is ready to pass a $1.1 trillion omnibus budget bill that includes a large number of Christmas tree ornaments: -- largess for NASCAR tracks, race horses, Hollywood, college students, UN Climate Fund, Syrian immigrants and many more mark-up handouts to buy support ... see: Washington Times Story.
I thought that this new Speaker of the House was going to fix things in our broken legislature? If he had such designs, he seems to have forgotten them and is reverting back to the old pork-barrel ways.
Afterward: Now we know why Romney/Ryan lost in 2112.
