The House of Representatives passed H.R. 5652, the Sequester Replacement Reconciliation Act of 2012, on May 10 with 218 voting yea, 199 voting nay and 1 present. Although the Senate is unlikely to take up this bill, these types of cuts to vital safety net programs will continue to be a basis for debate throughout the year.

Until I see an actual House Resolution # and section/paragraph references I look at all of these statements as "floor banter"... that is crap that politicians throw out as media sound bytes from the floor of the House. And yes, they stand on the floor and lie there butts off, both sides do, since none of them are sworn to tell the truth in the chamber. They can take any bit of innuendo or inference and bend it so far it'll look like a 9 strand braid! Yes, I searched for something with a reference. No, I didn't find it. Doesn't mean it isn't out there, but even if it is, that doesn't mean it says what they say it says. Until Later! C.
