I’m sorry if I missed something here. But why doesn’t the house send back exactly the same CR to the senate? Defund Obamacare? What do they have to lose at this point?.
Why would they just hold it off until after the 2014 elections? Won’t that just help the democrats?
Something I read yesterday talked about mandatory and discretionary spending. Those things that are law, like Social Security, Medicare, etc. are mandatory spending. Apparently Congress can’t defund those, they can only repeal the law. Obamacare falls in to that category. It can’t be defunded but it can be repealed.
