Congress Approves Of $250
Billion
WASHINGTON, DC—In a
near-unanimous vote Monday, 434 members of the House and all 100 senators voiced
their approval of $250 billion. "My fellow members of Congress, $250 billion is
an incredibly vast sum of money," U.S. Rep. Dennis Rehberg (R-MT) said. "That
much money is totally awesome." House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the
lone dissenter, disagreed with Rehberg's assessment, saying that, unless the
money was stacked on a table in one-dollar bills, it was "pretty cool," but not
"awesome."
