    It's a budget, not actual real ca$h money. It's more of a finance plan, based on debt-management and offset future income. Still, it is of figures other countries can only dream of dealing with...
    Good Luck to them, when America sneezes, the world catches cold, and Lat Am gets influenza,,,
    Be careful what you wish for, little trolls....
    In this globally inter-connected world I do wonder why the 'left' in Lat Am is still fighting Cold War battles. Unless it is to keep the population in fear and dependent on the State?
    Surely not?

    This omnibus weakens Dodd-Frank and makes a tax payer bailout of Wall St. much more likely.

    Well ucky for me most of the USA voting population thinks Progressivism failed and have chosen a path back to sanity.
    2 more years of a complete waste of human flesh running the country and we'll be back to normalcy.
    Every generation must be reminded why we don't vote liberals into power.
    and they learned.

    Hep you make me puss myself laughing when you use words like us. And the USA.

    Save for a select group......Americans vote with their wallet more than political philosophies. Fuck me the lead and use more astroglide and you get my vote. It will be interesting to see if the GOP will side with people or businesses in the USA,Inc in the see these next two years. Or if the can hold it together enough to create an elective GOP candidate.
