The House passed the spending bill


Posted: Mar 6, 2013

Republicans passed it. Democrats were against it because it still included the $85 billion sequester dollars. 

"The Senate isn't going to accept this bill," Senate Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said during debate.

 Despite Democratic complaints, the House passed the bill easily in a 267-151 vote in which 53 Democrats supported it, likely because it will help avoid a government shutdown. Just 14 Republicans voted against it.

Dems wanted Sequester, now they don't! If this bill doesn't pass the Senate like Nancy states, then they will only have themselves to blame. Can't have it both ways.

Today The House Has Passed Their 40th Bill Against ObamacareAug 02, 2013
Before going home for a month of vacation for summer recess, the House has passed their 40th bill to repeal or dismantle Obamacare.  Fortieth bill!  Why?  I guess because they thought that was a good use of taxpayers' money, passing yet another bill that would go absolutely nowhere, and maybe that the Democrats had just overlooked the first 39? Yes, of course they know it's a waste of time and money, but they are willing to spend all that time and all that money to ...
