Bob Cusack of the Hill just said the House is amending the bill

[octoberlib]

on MSNBC. They're putting in more spending cuts. That may affect House Dems votes. Regardless it'll have to go back to the Senate for another vote.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Quelle surprise. There was no way the House teabaggers would accept it as is.

[Chan790]

2. I'd laugh if the Senate revoked the amendments and sent them back the exact same bill.

Kind of a "No, approve this exactly as it was sent to you."

[ProSense]

3. Silliness

"They're putting in more spending cuts."

There are no spending cuts in the bill. They can amend away, but this bill expires in two days, when the new Congress convenes.

4. There's always a chance that the House won't pass any of the amendments.

[TDale313]

6. That would be good.

Dems probably won't vote for them. So if a few Repubs realize this would totally gum up the works, maybe they'll get a clean bill.

[awake]

5. If that happens then fuck em no Deal

While this will screw a lot of people and the stock market will take dive tomorrow let the tax increase be on the Repucks head. No deal means the cuts to the war department take effect. I would not like to see the mess but America needs to know what A holes the House Repucks are. Everybody will be hurt and the Repuck party will be DEAD.

7. When the military industrial complex starts ringing their phones off the hook....

I suspect their mindset will change.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Anybody surprised?

[octoberlib]

9. Certainly not me nt

[RomneyLies]

13. I predicted it as soon as the vote in the Senate went through.

No way something so bi-artisan from the Senate will get past Boehner.

[Lugnut]

14. Nope.

I didn't think they'd vote for it as it was.

[HereSince1628]

10. No crisis can be allowed to go unexploited...of course they want more for their side.

[chillfactor]

11. no surprise there....

it is what reporters have been saying all along.....any amended bill will not pass the Senate....Boehner and Republicans just digging themselves further into the ground

I hope the repukes delay everything long enough to pass it on to the new Congress...14 of the TPer extremists will be gone

[chelsea0011]

12. Are their pay raises part of the the cuts?

[TeamPooka]

15. The Senate is gone...no one home until the new Senate on Thursday
