Grassley Votes Again to Reward Irresponsible Behavior

The Senate took action on the stalled housing bill today which should allow the bill to move forward to a full vote. Senator Grassley again supported this bill by voting for cloture with the Democrat majority. This should be no surprise as Grassley has loaded this bill with extras not directly related to the current mortgage situation such as a property tax deduction on federal returns and a provision that allows the Internal Revenue Service to examine data on consumer purchases made over the internet and to tax internet vendors. This bill now appears to have sufficient votes to not only pass, but to override a presidential veto. It is not too late for the Senator to stand up for conservative principals and vote against this bill.
