Article. I
Section. 7

Barely 48 hours after the House rejected the Treasury’s bailout plan, the august body took a previously passed House bill mandating that insurance companies cover mental health benefits, added in the core $700 billion bailout, laced in money for rural school districts and disaster relief, expanded FDIC deposit insurance coverage, and topped it off with over $150 billion in old and new tax breaks for businesses, individuals in high-income states, individuals living in states without an income tax, and various interests such as wooden-arrow makers and film production crews.

I'm no lawyer, but someone really, really needs to get to the bottom of this technicality if so, and to be honest I did not notice the 150Billion more that has been added, just those two things alone seem like it would have sparked great outrage.... any Constitutional gurus or lawyers out there to really answer this?

The Masonic "level in a circle" at first used by the Federal Council of Spain of the International Workingmen's Association. Note the inclusion of the Plumb, one of the working tools of operative masonry, and a symbol of rectitude of conduct[
The first recorded use of the A in a circle by anarchists was by the Federal Council of Spain of the International Workers Association. This was set up by the freemason, Giuseppe Fanelli in 1868. It predates its adoption by anarchists as it was used as a symbol by freemasons amongst others.

It started out at $700 Billion and the house said no. It is Un-Constitutional for the Senate to originate Revenue bills.
