The Boehner Compromise Includes $193,400 Appropriation to Robert Byrd's Children and Grandchildren: Section 134 of HR 3081

Most of us real conservatives knew John Boehner's compromise with the Democrats was an act of deceptiCON politics at its finest. I am even blown away by what the Republicans allowed the Democrats to put into this bill to keep the government running--like a gift to the late Senator Robert Byrd's (D-WV) children and grandchildren. You know the former KKK grand dragon turned US Senator.

Section 134 sets aside the $193,400 gift from taxpayers to the Byrd family.

Sec. 134. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, for payment in equal shares to the children and grandchildren of Robert C. Byrd, $193,400 is appropriated.

Apparently they use the finest white cotton linens in the Byrd family these days when they dress up at night to, let's say, light the town up.


Yes this is the crap John Boehner and the GOP agreed to in order to keep the government operating. It just makes you sick.

Let me quote John Madison, as I recall the promise the Republican made to honor our Constitution.

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

Shame on John Boehner and the Republicans for allowing this gift to the Byrd family to happen. I will say it again. Boehner has got to go!
