Live on C-Span 2, Amendments being voted on @ present.

everyone please pray that this gets voted down!

If the Senate approves a budget proposal, the matter would then go before a House-Senate conference committee where differences between the two measures would be mediated.

[TornadoAlley3]

6 more Amendments, then final passage vote.

I may throw up before then.

De Mint has amendment to Consumer Protection Act so thrift stores can sell clothes etc...amends lead bill.

Bump

Previous amendment allowed people to choose their own plan and doctor, effectively preventing the government mandating of the same. It was (I believe) approved.

[romanesq]

Already? This atrocity is being shoved right down our throats. It’s a damn nightmare.

I don’t think this is the actual budget. It’s just a frame of the actual budget that will be voted on later. Am I wrong?

Watching this is like waiting for a hurricane.

You know it is coming,yet all you can do is sit and wait for it.

If the Senate approves it, it would then go before a House-Senate conference committee where differences between the version the House passed earlier and this one will be mediated.

Øbama’s 3.5T Dollar Budget

.
Spend more than you confiscate in taxation and you’ll end up bankrupt, even a caveman could vote against excessive Congressional spending

[Wisconsinlady]

Didn’t the senate approve it already” 61 to 36 ai think

[TornadoAlley3]

Not to my knowledge.

The House version of the budget passed today by a margin of 233-196 in a virtual party-line vote. All but 20 House Democrats supported it; no House Republican voted in favor.

I thought it must be something like that: the AP has a long story about it without mentioning any specifics other than the vote ‘largely’ following party lines.

[Nervous Tick]

>> 6 more Amendments, then final passage vote.

The amendments are just “feelgood” nonsense, so the RINOs can say they were justified in voting for this monstrosity.

When the bill passes, every damn one of the amendments with any teeth in it will be tossed out in conference.

What do you want to bet?

Hi, thanks for the Live Thread about this catastrophe of spending.
Greta’s show is on it, she thinks it’ll go to midnight.

Does that mean thrift stores can’t sell used children’s items?
