The House members will continue to reject taxpayer-funded boondoggles or else they’ll lose their seats. The bill will have to be rewritten in a non-crazy way.
I’m down 14K in shares today, and I have a big smile on my face.
The Republicans need to provide more votes? What a stupid comment from the unnamed Democrats in this story. This is a mess that the democrats and Barney Frank created, they have the votes to pass whatever they want in the house. If they want republican votes they should meet some republican demands starting with Barney Frank and Dodd removed from the negotiations. Those two are most responsible for the mess and have proved they cannot be trusted. They tried the ‘bipartisan’ route and got it shoved down their throats, now they should go for the jugular and put the blame for the crisis where it belongs.
