The largest single source of money, $17 billion, would come from cutting dividends paid by the Federal Reserve to member banks. Another $7 billion would come from sales of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Increases in fees paid to the Transportation Security Administration, customs fees and eliminating Social Security benefits for people with outstanding warrants for their arrest would all contribute a few billion dollars toward the bill. But prospects of speedy passage aren’t great. Aside from an expected attempt to attach Export-Import Bank reauthorization language to the must-pass legislation, Senator David Vitter’s (R-LA) crusade against congressional health care benefits will continue this week, this time with help from a presidential hopeful. The Louisiana Republican is expected to introduce “No Exemptions” legislation to combat the employer contribution for lawmakers, and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), is expected to copy the language and try to insert it as an amendment into the highway funding bill the Senate is set to consider this week. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) told reporters that they would wage a floor battle to require used-car dealers to repair defects in the vehicles they sell, eliminate caps on fines for automakers and impose criminal penalties on auto executives who knowingly hide deadly defects.
