There has been no action on prescription drugs from the Senate. It\u2019s Tom Daschle who is holding this up. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/oct_23_.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"170\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/> All these things have been held up with the hope that the Democrats will keep the Senate, so they don\u2019t have to do this stuff Bush\u2019s way. It\u2019s just that simple. All that was produced from the Tom Daschle-led Senate was a bloated farm bill with redundant disaster relief in it and campaign finance reform. That\u2019s about it. This is why the House, in the last three months, did not bring forward any tax bill. They knew it would die in the Senate. They\u2019re not going to waste their proposals now. Why have a proposal rejected or buried in a committee by the Senate? So they\u2019ve been waiting to bring the tax bill out until after the election when hopefully Republicans have the Senate or at least it\u2019s 50-50.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>So in light of this, in light of these statistics, do I think we\u2019re going to have trouble, economically and domestically, if the Democrats hold the Senate? There\u2019s no question. That\u2019s the plan. If the Democrats hold the Senate, the attitude there will be that the Bush presidency is over as far as Tom Daschle, Pat Leahy, Ted Kennedy, and all these guys are concerned.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/oct_23_.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#1 &#8211; The House of Representatives passed a budget seven months ago.
