Well, looks like Captain Kool-Aid & Gang on Capitol Hill have done it again, and this time it’s only going to cost us taxpayers $3,600,000,000,000.00. Uh, my hand hurts from typing all those zeros. Yes, last night Congress pulled the classic midnight creep with passing their new spending bill, errr, budget. The confused look on Reid’s face in the pic to the left basically sums up their promise lie of a “more honest government” (via Michelle Malkin)

While you were sleeping, Congress was hard at work…passing the $3.6 trillion budget spending your hard-earned money. A bunch of fiscal restraint amendments were adopted to create an aura of responsibility — with Democrat senators openly confessing they’ll just throw the amendments out during conference. And who knows what other chicanery will occur in the backrooms.

Can’t teach an old dog new tricks, can you? So why was it so hard for people to accept the logical suspicion during the election that an Obama administration would invoke the best practices in Mayor McCheese’s Windy City? Remember this gem from 2003 with Daley forgetting that he’s a civic servant to the people and not the school bully.

“Mayor Daley bulldozed his way into aviation history this morning by destroying a national treasure and potentially causing unsafe flying conditions,” said John Carr, air traffic control union president. “It’s the epitome of arrogance.”

Like I said kool-aid amnesia, and man, do they give you one hell of a hangover. So I hear.
