RE :”Reid still has to get cloture before the vote. That's going to take agreement or 60 votes.
Not to mention that bills for expenditures must originate in the House.”

Maybe, but its been reported that Reid will take the bill that has already been sent from house to Senate, modified by Senate and passed by the ~ 80 Senators (only 19 Senators voted no on cloture) that the house modified and sent back again, gut it again and replace it with his bipartision ‘you lose’ compromise.

In that case he will pass it with no cloture vote.

We will probably see for sure today.

Looks like Reid is seeking unanimous consent. That's isn't indicative of him gutting the previous bill.
