Senate Defeats "Dodge, Duck, & Destroy" |
|
Senate has voted down the House-passed "cut, cap, and balance" bill. (CNN Breaking News).
Now that this charade is over, can we raise the debt ceiling and cut the national debt by $4 trillion by letting Bush's tax cuts expire?

4. Well, there's that done. |

Moving on to the next thing. The House teabaggers can tell their hoodlum friends outside that while they tried, they couldn't take a ride.
Yackety-yak.

12. Straight party-line vote, no Dems voted to save it |
|
Remember, our majority is only 53-47. There were three senators not voting, Gillibrand(D), Kerry(D), and McCain(R).
