The Price Is Right? Payoffs for Senators Typical in Health Care Bill
FOXNews.com - The Price Is Right? Payoffs for Senators Typical in Health Care Bill
Sen. Ben Nelson's hardly the only lawmaker extracting sweetheart deals out of the health care reform bill.
While the Nebraska Democrat got a particularly juicy concession in exchange for a "yes" vote on the 10-year, $871 billion package -- permanent and full federal aid for his state's expanded Medicaid population -- support from a slew of other senators likewise came with a price.
Western states got more money for hospitals that serve Medicare patients. Louisiana got up to $300 million in Medicaid benefits. The list goes on.

White House Crashers Won't Testify, Could Face Subpoenas
FOXNews.com - White House Crashers Won't Testify, Could Face Subpoenas
House lawmakers want answers in a hearing Thursday about how the Salahis managed to sail through security checkpoints while their names were not on a list of approved guests for the dinner.
I guess Congress will spend most of its time prior to the Christmas break dealing with this rather than debating something important. This situation is an embarrassment to the White House, the Pentagon and the Secret Service. Instead of letting this go and enforcing the current process, we are spending day after day dealing with this.
