The House approved the bill in a 217-215 vote, with Rep. Tom Massie, R-Ky., the lone Republican voting against it.

Typical Freepr inability to be happy about any good progress, it’s always..yea, but it could have been better.

Why should rhinos even try to change or move d in a better direction when this is the response.

It’s one reason freerepublic.com can be depressing instead of positively encouraging and hopeful

Is it ready to go to conference committee?

I hope so.

The un-balanced budget keeps Obama Care and it goes over the trillion threshold. A win is a win.
