I understand $500M to pay for Republican backbones was also deleted from the bill.
and the (R)s made no complaint. Snarnin Arlin hit the happy hour with all of his bud (R) friends. They all left with smiles & thought about the next purge that they will do to the sheeple - as they know their only protest is a stupid E-Mail.
Somebody figured out that there is no such thing as a Republican backbone. The RATs didn't want to get caught cheating in an audit.
Rather than waste the money, it has been allocated for the purchase of more left wing bleeding hearts. Those will be rationed under the new socialist "healthcare" provisions.

Perhaps you do not understand that only three Republicans (well, rinos) voted for the bill...from both houses of congress! This in spite of the fact the lib media, Obama, and his administration have demonized them. The public is solidly behind the little dictator and the Republicans took a serious risk in fighting this bill. So, maybe show a little backbone and give some support for real courage that our Republican congressmen and senators are showing.
