I find it interesting that they pushed "Pay-As-You-Go" through before tackling this issue. Will they apply their own rules and raise taxes to pay for these "unfunded" recommendations? What will they do when transportation comes to a screeching halt? What will happen to the import duty and tax rates?

Go get 'em Nancy. This is the sort of thing we voted for in November.

I think the GOP blather about "rushing" this bill through is so much bovine scatology. They've all had plenty of time, since the 9/11 commission presented their report. Now that the Dems actually want to get something done, they call it "rushing". Maybe they should give all of Congress and the Senate a course in Evelyn Wood speed reading.

Good job Dem's. Get that momentum going.

According to CNN the Sept. 11 commission gave the administration a grade of D in following up on its general recommendations for preventing the development and spread of weapons of mass destruction.

How dare the GOP try to claim the high ground on National security claiming they are keeping America safe!! the only thing they have kept safe are special interests their supporter's wallets.

"To make it part of a 100-hour show shamefully trivializes an issue of life or death," said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., top Republican on the Homeland Security Committee.

So does ignoring the recommendations, as the Republican-led Congress did.
