Well, congress is up to a lot these day, and most of it is not being reported on. I have been looking at some of the bills being introduced and voted upon in congress. Here is a little bit of what our congress has been up to.

Well house voted 253-171 for nationalizing student loans today. The vote, again was sad to be pretty much split between the parties. The rationalization for the vote claimed that this would save approximately 40 biition dollars in subsidies to the banks for making the loans 47 billions worth of loans to students.

This appears to have some liberal math in it. First, there will an estimated 20,000 people who will lose their jobs. Sallie Mae, the largest student loan provider will llayoff approximately 8500 people. Mark up another 20,000 unemployed to the government.

Also, the savings, doesn't appear to allocate for the cost of the government to do the loans themselves. Only good thing is that it may create a few government jobs to replace the once lost in the private sector.

Also, the bill appears to increase the maximum Pell grant by $1400 to $6900.

I guess since government is said to already control 90% of loans, this falls in line with BO's power grab, to control more lending yet. Not only control who gets loans such as mortgages and business loans, the government will control who gets loans to further their education. And possible to what colleges they will go to.

Not many have heard about this bill introduce in January, and is now starting to get some attention in Washington. This is known as Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.

What it basically entails is the following:

In order to own a pistol or a rifle with a clip, one must

• The gun must be registered
• You must be fingerprinted
• You must provide a current Driver's License
  
• You must provide your Social Security number
  
• You may have to under go a physical & mental evaluation any time of their choosing choosing
  
• Any change of ownership must be report for a cost of $25. Failure to report this will provoke your right to own firearms, and will result in a fine and possible prison time of up to a year.
• There is a child-access provision. The gun(s) must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.
  
• The government has the right to inspect your premises to see that you are storing your gun safely away from children. The fine is punishable for up to five years in prison.

This can be verified at Snopes.com and/or by googling HR 45.

One of the good things coming out of the politics world, is that Acorn may have meet it;s match. All it took was a little undercover expore.

It is just funny to see how the libs are throwing Acorn under the bus as fast as they can. Reminds, of how the libs will do and say what ever the status quo is for the day. After 9/11 they could not sign the bills fast enough to make themselves look good. Now the cannot sign the bills fast enough to bury Acorn.

As of last knowledge, both the house and the senate has passed legislature to strip Acorn of all governmental funding. Let's see what BO does with the bill. Rumor is that the Acorn legislature was tied in with the bill to nationalize the student loans. I have not been able to confirm this yet.
