Speaking of the budget:

Democrats in Congress capped President Barack Obama’s 100th day in office by advancing a $3.4 trillion federal budget for next year — a third of it borrowed — that prevents Republicans from blocking his proposed trillion-dollar expansion of government-provided health care over the next decade.

I’m going to need some of that health care as this makes me ill.

Spector voted against it. So did three other Democrats.

The Republicans need allies. If they don’t find some, they will simply be irrelevant.
