If Accurate, That Was Fast -- December 18, 2015

From "Breaking News": President Obama signs $1.1 trillion budget bill bankrolling federal government in 2016 - @AP

If accurate: US repeals ban on exporting crude oil. So now we see. [The reason I wondered about the accuracy, the House passed this bill yesterday or the day before; which means the Senate passed it yesterday or today; and on his way to Hawaii, President Obama signed it. I think this is the fastest any bill has sailed through Congress/White House -- and it's a huge $1.1 trillion that was apparently written by four Congressmen / staffers and lots of lobbyists.

Also from "Breaking News":  Islamic State declares war against Saudi Arabia after formation of 34-state coalition to fight the terror group - @ynetnews
