| 2. They are voting on it now |
|
I'm so disgusted. The voting seems to be pretty much party line so far, the GOP protecting the rich.

| 3. The amendment was voted down |
|
56 nays. The rich still have five states to hide money in trusts.
Rockefeller's amendment is being voted on next. It would provide for recovered back pay and allow for 18 months of comparable health insurance to employees of bankrupt corporations.

| 4. As if closing that loophole makes this bill any less draconian |
|
Puh-leaze. The rich will always figure out a way to keep what they have. This bill will destroy the middle and working class.
