Arrr me hearties, after days of dilly-dallying, them scallywags in the U.S. Congress finally revealed a whopping $1.2 trillion booty for defense, homeland security, and other such programs on Thursday. This left the landlubbers with less than two days to prevent a ruckus and avoid a partial shutdown of the government.The House of Representatives, run by them scurvy Republicans, be settin' sail to vote on the grand package on Friday. This gives the Senate, full of them fancy Democrats, just a few hours to pass the lot of six bills that be coverin' most of that $1.66 trillion in discretionary funds.
