recess

Congress did not clear the bill authorizing the Federal Aviation Administration before it left for recess. The agency's partial shutdown is another thing adding to the country's debt.

This month alone, it will cost the Treasury $1 billion in uncollected airline ticket taxes. Disputes in Congress over labor issues and subsidizing small airports are behind the standoff.

Not that I wouldn’t do the same if put in the position Obama is in on health care, economy, etc., but it’s telling that he’s being so blatant about it.

The gloves are about to come off after the recess. I can almost guarantee it.

They’re actually going to go on vacation instead of trying to pass it.

Wow…

Reid told reporters he expected the Senate Finance Committee would approve its version of the legislation before the Senate starts its recess August 7.
