Good stuff. Hopefully the cowards don't switch their votes to aye before it closes.

I'm glad that my current representative and former representative both voted against this trash. Lloyd Doggett continues to be an amazing FF. And Mike McCaul apparently doesn't want to lose re-election. Sad

So, I wonder what the leadership will do now. I figure they can either tack hard-right and get rid of all the regulations and just pass the $700 billion or go hard left and add in enough extra stuff to bring in the progressives.

Yes, let's write a trillion dollar corporate welfare check so that the investors feel good for a day!

Very glad to hear that a majority of Texas Democrats and Republicans voted again.
