House approves $3.44 trillion budget resolution – Nancy Pelosi calls this: “a statement of our national values,

The House of Representatives passed a $3.44 trillion budget resolution for fiscal year 2010 Wednesday, approving most of President Obama’s key spending priorities and setting the federal government in a new direction with major increases for energy, education and health care programs. The resolution, which was approved by a vote of 233 to 193, passed in a virtual party-line vote. All but 17 House Democrats supported it, and no House Republicans voted in favor.
The measure passed two days after congressional Democrats reached an agreement reconciling earlier House and Senate versions of the budget package. The Senate is also expected to approve final passage of the compromise measure on Wednesday, Obama’s 100th day in office “Today, for the first time in many, many years, we have a president’s budget … that is a statement of our national values,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said during the final debate on the House floor.

    Nancy Pelosi is the downfall of America. Since Obama does have a clue what to do, Pelosi is getting her every agenda. We should be very afraid. Pelosi talks and Obama’s mouth moves.
