[history]
Democrats called it an unwise raid on Social Security that would increase government debt, but the GOP majority prevailed on a largely party-line 229-198 vote.
Since Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., is vowing to block the measure in the Senate, both sides said its real impact is showing clear economic differences between the parties for voters.

House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., called it "the definitive vote in this Congress on the future stability and security of Social Security." Original they are not.

Republicans on Thursday pushed through the House a bill Those big bullies. Always "pushing through" bills. The Democrats, OTOH, pass historic legislation.

Since the tax cut is now permanent, it will cost the federal government an INFINITE AMOUNT OF MONEY! The deficit will now be INFINITE! We can't afford this!
To: Huck
Three cheers for the tax cut that gave me a 25% increase in taxes for a 7% gain in income.

American way of tax cutting: raise taxes 20%, then cut the raise itself by 30% and call it a 30% tax cut! The sheeple and the rest of them cheer!

This is great news. Now, I wonder if anyone in the GOP is going to defend this vote? Or are they going to let DemocRATs (once again) characterize the vote as "a raid on SS." For instance, do the pubbies have any intention to inform Americans that the RATs raided SS during the forty years they controlled Congress ... and never once did they express concern about it. Or, how about the fact that there is no "SS Fund." It's an accounting hoax.

"Or, how about the fact that there is no "SS Fund." It's an accounting hoax." As the Dems would say, Enronomics

I think the House should just go home for the rest of the year. The Senate is either blocking or voting down just about anything that comes their way. Just call it a day and say 'forget it.' Let the Senate do some 'work' on the already 50-60 bills pending in that chamber.
God, I hate the Senate.
