Bipartisan, apparently, is more important than a clean bill providing net-gain investments into the country.Interesting! The bi partisan vote on stimulus was no. It wasn't the winning vote but the only vote that received both R and D votes.
The last amendment, alotted 60 minutes, was to try and literally remove everything prior and replace it with GOP humping points. A quote during the debate:
“I’m glad, however, that they’ve offered this alternative because it puts in clear relief what their priorities are - take money away from 95% of the American public and invest in the few who need it the least. Take money away from 4 million students who would have this tax relief. And my favorite, is actually continue to game the alternative minimum tax to purposely push more people into it, with tax gimmicks -rather than work with us in fundamental tax reform that doesn’t subject more people, and give us this biannual charade.â€
