| Senate Parliamentarian RULES IN FAVOR OF DEMS |
|
The best bet the GOP had to gum up the works, a point of order related to Medicare, was struck down by the Senate Parliamentarian.
They still could come up with something to strike a sentence or add an amendment, but that's the biggest hurdle so far on this.

| 6. They were grasping for the straws. |

There best bet was that the bill would cause an increase in wages and therefore cause taxpayers to pay more in Social Security taxes.
Everybody hates their wages to increase.
