Friday Open Thread
House Republicans last night passed a government funding bill that pays for new disaster aid with partisan budget cuts. The bill now is dead in the Senate. From yesterday you recall Boehner had three choices. He chose option three.
Harry Reid:
“[The GOP bill] fails to provide the relief that our fellow Americans need as they struggle to rebuild their lives in the wake of floods, wildfires and hurricanes, and it will be rejected by the Senate,” said the Nevada Democrat, warning the Federal Emergency Management Agency could “run out of money as soon as Monday.”
Here is the Governor’s weekly message, this week honoring Lt. Szczerba:
Rest in peace Lt. Szczerba.
It was nice to see that the Boehner’s “jamming” play was thwarted by the Dems. It is almost as if the Democrats are a functioning political party.
