House passes cojmpromise Resolution giving Dems everything they wanted, ex. Obamacare

[Little-Acorn]

The House just passed a Continuing Joint Resolution that funds the entire Federal government for a year, including all the Democrats' pet projects and funds, even an odd payment of $170K to the widow of former Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). The vote was mostly along party lines, with a finaly tally of 230-189.

Since the American people voted to put more Republican Representatives into the House than big-government Democrats, the 2012 election produced a Continuing Resolution funding the entire government and all its perks, except for a few new ones such as Obamacare, which is not mentioned in the Resolution.

The passage of the bill leave open the possibility for Representatives to put together a separate bill funding Obamacare on its own. Current progress on such a separate bill by House Democrats, is not known.

With the major compromises offered in the newly-passed bill by Republicans, funding many projects they had previously opposed, it now remains to be seen whether the Democrat-controlled Senate will be in an equally compromising mood. WIll they vote to fund most of the Democrats' pet projects as the Republicans have done? Or will they decide to shut down the government anyway, despite Republican's compromising on so much, because the Democrats did not get EVERY single item they wanted?

Do you think no Republicans added any boondoggle amendments to this CR? I ask because you took the trouble to imply it was only Democrats who did this. How were Democrats able to attach boondoggles in a Republican majority House if they weren't all (Democrat and Republican) big spending mutual back scratchers?

Stop deluding yourself.

That's why you don't compromise with democrooks, they're never happy when there's an "except" in there.

Hilarious. Massachusetts was going bankrupt because people were using the emergency room as their primary source of health care. So under Mitt Romney, the Heritage Foundation health care plan was passed into law. Obama took that plan and made it the basis of Obamacare thinking Republicans would vote for their own idea.

Republicans just voted to cut 4 million from food stamps, 85% of which are children, veterans with disabilities and seniors. They held millions of unemployed hostage to pass tax cuts for millionaires, they not only apologized to BP but blocked Obama from investigation of the greatest man made disaster in US history.

And so Republicans are going to care about regular Americans getting health care? Who believes that. It must be "satire". Even USMB Republicans laugh at the idea of Republicans helping average Americans get health care, right?

86 it with the other 40+ attempts to repeal the law.

once again, rdean is confused with a state vs the federal government and obamacare is not romneycare by any stretch of the imagination

Ah, I disagree. Assuming the dems don't cave and hold the gop to shut down/default over obamacare, I think some gopers in the senate will fall to tea party primary challenges. The dems may not take the House, but the gop could easily lose a safe seat or two.

Oh really? You can prove that? With facts you can link to? Not opinions. Not the rantings of others of your "kind".

Refund science and go search for a sensible health care program to replace Obamacare with.

"Barack Obama's health care bill is nothing new. Mitt Romney signed one just like it four years before."

The Senate-passed health care bill "is identical to the Massachusetts health care plan -- the same thing."

RomneyCare & ObamaCare: Can you tell the difference?

Republicans on this board are always pointing to "PolitFact". Unless they don't like the answer.

BULLSHIT

you can't prove it, since obamacare is not implemented yet

Well the Republicans can vote against Obama and the Democratic party all they like, but Obamacare is here to stay. If the Republicans shut down the government just because they hate Obamacare then the Republicans will lose the House; not sure what Republicans think they will achieve as Obama and the Democrats won't pass austerity budgets and send the US back into recession.

I can prove harry reid and barrack obama don't like obama care

I agree. A shame that the Senate will continue the play instead of getting down to work, like the House has done.

Wonder why we pay them.

A failed post if ever I witnessed one.

The Republicans have already voted to keep government open. Its a historic fact as of right now.

The Democratic Party's definition of "compromise" is "STFU and do what we tell you to do".
