Pardon my ignorance, but don’t sepnding bills have to originate in the House or are amendments exempt?
Heres a list of the critters we must get rid of:
http://www.gop.gov/votes/112/1/690
Has the bill (amended) actually passed the Senate yet?
Well, it passed.
Called Sen. Isakson. Phone jockey was surprised to hear the “$26T new spending” line.
I’ll send an email asking for real clarification on this.
Maybe I misunderstood something, but that bill’s wording sure looks like $26T total.
