Diane Gets Caught

Let's see if I've got this straight. Americans are losing good paying jobs, Mortgages are in trouble, incomes falling, gas rising, and the best that dem. senator Diane Fienstien could think to do for the "American People" is try and sneak an Amnesty provision for Illegal Aliens into a defense spending bill.
It kinda makes me laugh when I think about it.
With all the gnashing of teeth, hand-wringing, and crying by democrats in the hallowed halls of congress about money, one wouldn't think they would want to pile more of a debt burden on the shoulders of the "American People", but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Noone there , as far as I can tell, has tried to sneak in an ammendment to increase oil production here in the U.S. to relieve "pressure at the pumps". How about one to help stressed out homeowners? I wonder if they know anything at all about Chineese espionage?
I would be happy to hear about anything that would actually HELP the "American People". But, I just don't see that happening. EVER!
Funny how it only took one night to bailout Bear Sterns with a stand alone bill. One that actually stood on it's own merits, but can't get a stand alone bill to help our returning G.I.'s, or even an ammendment.
All that moaning about republicans and all I see is just back to business as usual, if the "American People" are against something just sneak this or that in when you get a chance.
