THat’s a d****d fine question. All I can figure is that those are amendments, but I can’t figure out what the amendments propose.
He said “package.” Heh. Heh heh...

Free Republic kills me!!! LOL
I’ve done that. Nothing.
Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have already explained it. It boils down to a.) Americans are lazy, b.) they won't work for penny-ante wages, c.) we're not "fertile" and d.) we're not good "family people".
Could it be any clearer?
However it would be a lot better to Kill this bill before it is longer and even more worthless than obamacare.
If we can not kill it here and now I hope the House will make it DOA. I also hope the House will not pass their own version, just let this one stop.
I think that is a superb summary, thanks okie!
