Democrats voted present to force more Republicans to vote against the Republican Study Committee's (RSC) budget. Democrats hoped that by getting their members to vote present instead of against the budget, it might be approved by the House.That would have allowed Democrats to train their campaign ads on the RSC budget, which would boost the Social Security age to 70 and cut Medicare benfits, including for people now 59 years old. The RSC blueprint would balance the budget in four years.Only 14 Democrats voted against the RSC budget, along with 118 Republicans.The strategy was used by Democrats two years ago, when the RSC budget failed 119-136. Republicans split 119-120 in that vote, and just 16 Democrats voted against the budget.Last year, the RSC budget fell in a 136-285 vote, which means support for the RSC budget dropped by 32 votes from last year to this year.
are they seeing the light or just weary of the game plan, 32 votes not bad there might be some hope for the republicans (while turning my open hand from side to side). those14 blue dogs screw 'em.
"If a budget is nothing else, it is a statement of our values and our priorities," Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Ga.) said. "And the Republican Study Committee's value and priority is to end the passing of responsibilities from this generation to the next, to be responsible for the bills that we create today and paying for those priorities today."
why do they keep kicking this dead dog, when they did what they did to get us to where we have to do this or something by not Paying for their wars their tax cuts for rich the loopholes, and refuse to do anything and they are the ones kicking the can down the road by doing nothing, if they want to label get the right ones to pin them to.
