Hopefully it gets past the senate. I like what Cao said after the vote:

"I felt last night's decision was the proper decision for my district even though it was not the popular decision for my party," said Cao, a first-term representative from Louisiana's traditionally Democratic 2nd District. "A lot of my constituents are uninsured, a lot of them are poor. It was the right decision for the people of my district."

That is how elected officials need to vote, for the good of their constituents, not just for the party.

Seriously, do you think the Country can afford this monster of a bill 1.7 Trillion? I firmly believe this Administration and the Party in charge is trying to kill capitalism and do damage to the Constitution. Never waste a crisis, right? Even if you have to manufacture it.........
