Hey, I didn't get much sleep and I haven't had my caffeine yet. I was researching through old LIFEs and they noted that sometime the GOP got enough control to kill the New Deal. If it happened once, it can happen twice.
Obama can have the bill, but if a GOP House refuses to vote it any money, it's useless.
