"Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!" That's the cries from a bunch of legislators in the House and Senate. In this lame-duck session of Congress, lawmakers from both sides are scampering to end their careers with massive legislation full of billions of dollars of "earmarks" which give them big bucks for their personal and others uses. The government runs out of money early next week and must find a way to get some before the Christmas recess. One answer? A $1.7 trillion omnibus bill that is full of spending pork! Let's pray cooler heads prevail and that a small, stop-gap bill -- called a "CR," or "Continuing Resolution," is used instead!
