feinstein now dissing lack of a budget resolution for 4 years” “it’s got to stop.”
repeatedly quoting the old adage “there is many a slip twixt the cup and the lip”
[My take is that the senators seem to be quietly complimenting Reid for being open to the Collins bill]
Sen Shaheen (D-NH) addressing senate now
talking about specific small businesses such as Provident Bank which has 12 small business loans on hold (if not cancelled) now which some senate subcommittee that she is on heard recently. Claiming to be sympathetic to small businesses.
Shaheen now mentioning what is apparently a joint ongoing senate-house budget committee meeting.
hoping that both houses will approve the current senate bill being voted on today.
why is the senate not just voting on the bill instead of talking about it???????????
* the committee of 14 is for it
* reid and mcconnell are apparently for it
* cruz will apparently not block it
i am not even hearing specifics, from senator after senator
-> the senators are stalling and filibustering until the end of the day so that the house will have no time to consider or debate the bill
IMHO this is a giant time squeeze play by the R and D senators against the Republican led House
now sen Bernie Sanders (I?-VT) addressing the Senate, dissing the Republicans in the House,
IMHO probably saying what the other senators (R and D) are thinking but not saying... loose cannon socialist a$$hole senator...
wth is someone like Sanders (born in brooklyn) doing representing Vt? This guy is now going off like a classic liberal about the decline of standard of living, does not seem to recognize that liberal tax and spending is the problem, not the solution. when eyes are closed, sounds like just another tax and spend liberal nyc politician...
