Costs...

The Senate today denied funding to close Gitmo saying they need "a plan" before appropriating taxpayer dollars. One might ask good Senate Democrats, who declined this measure, where is the "plan" for Afghanistan, and Iraq? Yet, the House recently approved another $97 billion in supplemental spending.

Another question for Congress as they try to derail a quickly escalating budget freefall: what is it going to cost to close Dick Cheney's mouth?
