Reply #13: Hey, I just found a new hearing online. [View All]

The SBA hearing from Nov 8th is up on the SBA site. http://sbc.senate.gov/hearings/109hrgs.html (Pissed off Kerry. Go about 33 or so minutes into the thing. Very pissed off Senator. Sigh!)

Hey, it's the new year and I like the hearings. (I'm just so geeky.)

Sen Kerry gestures to Sen. Snowe: "You and I have worked diligently with this committee to get an emergency hurricane response. It passed the United States Senate 96-0. It's been sitting in limbo between the House and the Senate and just last Friday it was cut out of the CJS, cut out of the CJS conference by the Republicans. It has an emergency response, emergency lending. It has what we need and was cut by the Republicans. I just want to make that absolutely clear. I raised this issue with Sen. Frist on the floor last week and we get this talk about how we are going to look around. It's all politics. Politics as usual in Washington DC is screwing a lot of Americans. And they deserve better." (About 43-44 minutes into the hearing.)

Now Vek, honestly, them's fighting words. Take heart. People like that don't give up.
