Senate Arranging Deck Chairs as the Titanic Sinks in Debt

From AP News:

The Senate on Sunday passed a $1.1 trillion spending bill with increased budgets for vast areas of the federal government, including health, education, law enforcement and veterans' programs.

The more-than-1,000-page package, one of the last essential chores of Congress this year, passed 57-35 and now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature.

The weekend action underlined the legislative crush faced by Congress as it tries to wind up the year. After the vote, the Senate immediately returned to the debate on health care legislation that has consumed its time and energy for weeks. Senate Democrats hope to reach a consensus in the coming days on Obama's chief domestic priority.
The world is running out of superlatives to describe the spending addiction in Democrat Washington. It's getting to the point that some people might just be starting to think "well, whatever" and just becoming willing to let it go. Hopefully not though.
