Working past midnight, the Republican House narrowly approved a stopgap spending bill to keep the government operating past Sept. 30 but inviting new conflict with the Democratic Senate over emergency disaster aid and proposed cuts from alternative energy programs.

The 219-203 vote, muscled through after an extended roll call, allowed Speaker John Boehner to recover from a stinging loss Wednesday when 48 of his own Republicans deserted him. But even before passage Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned he was prepared to block enactment and push the fight into next week when lawmakers had hoped to be on recess for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah.

“The feeling in there is we’re fed up with this,” said Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin after a stormy Democratic caucus Thursday evening. And in a statement Reid pointedly said: “The Senate is ready to stay in Washington next week to do the work the American people expect us to do. And I hope the House Republican leadership will do the same.”

Even with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce dissenting, Boehner chose to stick with plans to take $1.5 billion from an advanced technology manufacturing program for the auto industry. As if to punctuate this point, a new $100 million cut was added to the bill Thursday, rescinding unobligated money in an alternative energy loan fund that helped finance Solyndra LLC, the controversial solar panel manufacturer in California that has filed for bankruptcy protection.

2. and your point is? I think if there is any cutting to be done in the Government it would be best to

start with the muther-fucking Republicans whose objective is to demolish Government to facilitate the Corporate Feudalist state they prefer to democracy.
