$700 Billion horse pill fails house vote
The House defeated the financial intervention bill by a vote of 205 to 228.
Draft version. I can't locate the HR # after a cursory search, but the thing is 110 pages. I can't say I'm happy about the amount of pork that's been dumped on top of this bill.
I do think we need some sort of bill, but it needs to be what's absolutely necessary not some random number a staffer picked out of the air and proceeds payed back need to go straight to paying back down the budget.
