Does it have to pass by a majority of the house or the majority of the votes?

Simple majority.
WHat a turd sandwich. The GOP has utterly lost the respect of its base. Fools and cowards.

When does Obama sign it?

 

[JakeStarkey]

The bill passed. Good night. We can talk tomorrow.

Some on the board who make more than $450K can talk about if they are displeased with the outcome.

Moran (D) blasted the bill. Looks like another vote not being case for it. Also voted on not bringing it to a vote.

With any luck they'll kill this turkey stone dead.

your luck just ran out

Nearly 2/3 of the GOP CON$ervoFascist Brotherhood voted to destroy the economy and send it over the cliff!!!!

Washington Post put a three page article on its site two minutes ago that the bill passed. Someone already had their paper typed up.

Not mine. The GOP's. They have no leverage the next time and no credibility with voters, who want less government and less spending.

Someone reported president to sign bill shortly. I think that means less or about an hour.

Off topic but I just saw this on C-SPAN. The senate passed the Sandy relief bill but the house has not and will not vote on it tonight.

Just enough gutless neocon pussy republicans caved in, in order to save their spending priorities.

Face it...It's over.

Best start investing in gold, silver and lead, folx.

Honestly, did anyone expect anything else? I love the idea that only folks making over $450,000 dollars get a tax increase, yet folks making $50,000 a year and up will pay on average $2,000 more per year.

And no spending cuts.


God bless America!!

I am highly impressed the house passed it so easily.

Yeah. One step closer to being "Europe". Just remember that it is all on Barry. "Let me say this again...no one, making less than $250,000 per year will see their taxes go up one penny. Not their payroll taxes, not their dividends, not their estate taxes, nothing"

My Wife and I will see an immediate payroll tax increase of $2,400 annually.

Barry Obama is a liar and a thief. PERIOD. End of story.

Not even into his second term and he has already added 4 TRILLION to the debt.

And you stupid liberals just love the man. Idiots.
