What? House Democrats Standing Up To House Republicans? (~faints~)
Posted by Phoenix Woman on July 25, 2012
House Democrats won’t consent to fixing a typo that fundamentally changes a GOP regulatory moratorium bill, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said.
[…]
The GOP bill was intended to ban new regulations until the unemployment rate reached 6 percent, but a typo would put the moratorium in place until 6 percent “employment.”
What was this again about Republicans reading every bill?
Now the Dems have some leverage they can use. Let’s hope they use it well and wisely.

Now, that’s funny.
Unfortunately, if passed, the bill would create a moratorium on regulations forever. The Republicans could just pass the bill as it stands.

This is precisely what is wrong with our congress and why every one of the sons of bitches should be throw out.
