The United States' economy shrank by 3.8% last quarter, which is the most since 1982. It still shows that the sky isn't falling as badly as everybody said, because the "experts" expected the economy to shrink by 5.4%. The media still hasn't stopped stretching the "depression" talk.
Here are some of the lowlights of the Senate's version of the ODAB. So far it looks like the Republicans will probably oppose it, but some Democrats are trying to put together another "Gang of 14." They'd better hurry up and get it passed, because public support for the ODAB is down to 42%, and shrinking.
The Senate passed the S-CHIP extension bill, with 9 Republicans supporting it. Both Chambliss and Isakson voted against it, however.
