Senate should reject this bill
Send it back and let Obama put it back the way it was before he made all the compromises to the GOP. It's clear they aren't going to support it no matter what so why keep the compromises in there?

1. Depending on the wording of the Senate version, a lot of it can be
remedied in conference.

9. tax cuts
Take them all out. They are a waste. Since they failed in their only potential benefit, bringing the Pubs onboard, drop them like the crap they are.

3. The Senate will vote on the Senate bill
The differences are handed in conference. The Democrats will likely get some Republican support in the Senate. (If all the republicans are willing to filibuster - they CAN stop it, because the Democrats would then need 60 votes and they only have 58 (MN is still missing a Senator)

8. I hope so - it seemed that they did
though they are so big that it would be very tough to really compare them. I did see a Kerry announcement that he got a provision for high speed rail in.

4. Personally I think they should go full speed
and just pass what the house did... so it can get to the President's desk pronto.
