Congress spending more $ before Easter
Congress is planning on taking a 2 week recess beginning later today after they pass a 30 day extension of the Unemployment benefits, COBRA health benefits and postpone the 21% cut to DRS of government payment to them for seeing Medicare patients. The House Dems passed this earlier at a cost of $10B and deemed it an emergency. When they invoke the emergency designation they don’t have to find the money to pay the bill.
The GOP in the Senate are objecting to the $10B bill because it isn’t paid for but rather just piled onto the debt. The Dems are calling the GOP insensitive, non-feeling and the GOP are saying it is irresponsible not to pay for this bill. They believe it is obviously NOT an emergency and is a well known fact it will happen again in 30 days, even if this bill passes. Who is doing their job in Congress?
