SEAN HANNITY

Crappy Government What is Congress going to do to embrace the new "suck bill?" What message is this new budget agreement teaching our children? I'll tell you what it's doing. It's teaching us to embrace lower standards and crappy government. I never thought I'd say this but we're being taught to "embrace the suck!" This budget deal is just plain "sucky." I'd apologize for using that language but the reality is I have to use that language just to explain how bad it is. Washington continues to operate in this "crappy" fashion and borrow against our children's future for today's political gain. Frankly, I'm a little tired of it. So, if I sound frustrated and angry, well I am.  For more on this budget deal, don't forget to check out my website at Hannity.com.  National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) joined Sean by phone to discuss the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which passed in the House yesterday with a 350-69 vote. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill next week. The NDAA is a United States federal law specifying the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense. The U.S. Congress oversees the defense budget primarily through two yearly bills: the National Defense Authorization Act and defense appropriations bills. The authorization bill determines the agencies responsible for defense, establishes funding levels, and sets the policies under which money will be spent. Inhofe worked with Chairman Levin to incorporate many GOP provisions into the NDAA including 79 Senate filed amendments (41 GOP and 38 Dems) in the final bill. The senator Inhofe spent the past few weeks hashing out the differences between the House and Senate versions of the defense policy legislation in anticipation of an end-of-the-year finish that wouldn't allow time for a formal House-Senate conference committee. The House passed its version of the defense bill in June, but the Senate bill stalled in a partisan spat over restrictions on the number of amendments. On Monday, the committee leaders unveiled their compromise bill, which would authorize about $527 billion in base defense spending for the current fiscal year - in line with the Pentagon's request but well above the caps required under another round of sequestration or in the Budget Committee agreement making its way through Congress. The NDAA expires Dec. 31st. If a bill does not pass this year, Congress would essentially be handing the president a free pass to manage the Defense Department, while silencing Republicans and our national security without Congressional oversight or fiscal scrutiny. A summary of the bill can be found here. Today's "Hot Topic" On The Hannity Forums: "Train Wreck" is so last summer, we need a new analogy for Obama(doesn't)Care - Physics Hunter A Train Wreck might kill a few hundred and empty out a town, cause an EPA supersite... This Obama(doesn't)Care stuff is Bad, it's Nationwide... (Thanks ZZ Top) This is BOTH throwing Millions out of their plans, while signing up about a million on Medi-Welfare and some small percent of 400K on the exchanges.
