But evidently, a few of the docile, limp-wristed Republican minority have decided to do just that.
Bipartisan Deal Eases Way For Stimulus Bill In Senate
The compromise represented a dramatic finale to a tumultuous and frustrating week for Democrats pushing the package, as Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) saw the limitations of an expanded majority and a band of GOP centrists came to appreciate the very high price they can extract for their votes on key measures.
The bipartisan deal was cut after two days of talks and would cut more than $100 billion from the $920 billion bill, dropping its cost to about $820 billion, if amendments added on the Senate floor are retained.
Well good for y'all Republicans that fought so hard to cut that huge 10% of 100 billion dollars from an economy-wrecking, depression guaranteeing, almost one trillion dollar spending measure!
You should be proud! I, my children, and my grandchildren will forever be in your debt. You call that a fight?
Y'all remind me of the gal that just shuts her eyes and waits 'til it's over, instead of grabbing for nuts...and squeezing until the rapist either cries uncle, or kills her. Even the rape victim that dies fighting dies with dignity and self-respect.
We're screwed. You are just like the rape victim that doesn't fight. He'll be back...
And they had to wait until the weekend to cave. Dang, I hate the federal gummint.
