You don't get the point - the measure was NEVER voted on in the House.

The welfare checks NEVER were sent out because the measure died in conference.

If that's the case, then I'm (thankfully) in error. I just remember being so pi$$ed off when it flew through the senate 99 to 0 that I HAD to turn off the TV and walk away before shooting it. If that turd died in the House, then Tom Delay is certainly doing his job.
