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

Does it contain a CR provision?

I was being positive. I’d like to see more but this is a start. I don’t see that as a negative statement.

217 to 215 is cutting it pretty thin.
Is it ready to go to conference committee?
I hope so.

217 to 215 is cutting it pretty thin. That's why I think Elise Stefanik should withdraw from being Trump's U.N. Ambassador - a meaningless job. We just can't spare the seat.

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