Chamber looks empty, no one wants to be seen associating with this Dem-RINO ‘masterpiece’?

“By the way, $250,000 per year hardly qualifies one as being rich. It’s not even yacht and Learjet money”

Someone needs to tell Obozo. He thinks they’re rich.

DeMint just hit a home run with his Senate Speech. Turned it off when Chuck U. Schumer came on.

In my dreams. Listening to Paul Ryan on the floor now, he’s definitely backing the bill, and with great enthusiasm. He says “compromise is a good thing.” Yikes.

This is a very bad deal. I have no idea how the GOP is going to try talking this one away come election time. It’s a total betrayal.

Found House action. Link goes day-by day ...

Aug 1, 2011 House Action

This is updated more or less in real time, and shows S.365 as the subject of debate. I think the previous link (from Senate Active Legislation page) has the correct legislative text.

Ryan says "We are actually cutting spending." Is it true, or false, that the proposed bill reduces federal outlays below the current levels?

Call of the House - getting them back in the chamber for the vote it seems.

I notice a lot of PRESENT votes.

12 already for GOP, and 7 for the Dems. Unless I’m reading it wrong...

Ryan has exposed himself as nothing special. This is just BAD.

President of NOW is whinnig too.

.”the agreement will impose $1 trillion in cuts to programs such as family planning clinics, food stamps, college tuition assistance, child care and a host of other programs..”

“This two-step plan attempts to balance the federal budget on the backs of the most vulnerable people in this country — disproportionately women and especially women of color.”

She played the race card as well.

A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.

It;s a quorum call. They’re not voting on anything yet.

I believe that this is very apropos on this thread.

Proposed Seal for the United States

On July 4, 1776, Congress appointed Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams "to bring in a device for a seal for the United States of America." Franklin's proposal adapted the biblical story of the parting of the Red Sea . Jefferson first recommended the "Children of Israel in the Wilderness, led by a Cloud by Day, and a Pillar of Fire by night. . . ." He then embraced Franklin's proposal and rewrote it. Jefferson's revision of Franklin's proposal was presented by the committee to Congress on August 20. Although not accepted these drafts reveal the religious temper of the Revolutionary period. Franklin and Jefferson were among the most theologically liberal of the Founders, yet they used biblical imagery for this important task.

-- I notice a lot of PRESENT votes. --

That's the only action being taken now. Each member, in "call of the house" notes "present," and no more.

Thanks.

I was watching FoxNews and not CSPAN without the volume.

That is not the vote. This is kind of a quorum call to get them all there.

Unless they’ve done away with baseline budgeting, Paul Ryan just lied through his teeth.
