“We are sitting around twiddeling our thumbs, doing nothing,’’ [Sen. Jim Inhofe] said, referring to a debate about which committee has jurisdiction.
“We had better do it now or it is going to be too late. We will be out of here, and it will be history by the time we get back here in January.’’
...Inhofe introduced legislation Monday to freeze what is left of the first $350 billion and require an “affirmative” vote by lawmakers before the second half of the bailout funds could be spent.
“Congress completely abdicated its responsibility by signing a truly blank check over to the Treasury secretary,’’ said Inhofe, who voted against the bailout legislation. “However, the lame duck session of Congress offers us a tremendous opportunity to change course. We should take it.’’
It’s SB 3683, not yet up on thomas.gov: call your Senator [or a random, useful Senator from somewhere else, if you’re from CA] and tell ‘em to look into it.
