When they say it has bipartisan support, I’m immediately suspicious that I’m going to get screwed somehow.

Of course. They have an unlimited amount of money to spend, because it's not theirs. They can always print more. The slaves will continue to pay them. They always do. Because of that, the beast will continue to grow.
We just sit back and take it every time. If we don't vote for Republican RINOs "The tax and spend democrats will win." (pot calling the kettle black)

(I've just become a libertarian. Too bad the only candidate is 100 year old man. Sheesh.)

Just got off the phone with Thune’s office. Was actually surprised she called me back the same day. So far the bill is stuck because they can’t come up with the $12 billion in cuts to offset the cost of the bill.

Will keep checking back with them daily.
