Good. Maybe not certain people here can back off... TCJ70 Sep 2017 #20

He IS the Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee. How could he not sign pnwmom Sep 2017 #22

So....if he only could have NOT signed it he would have not, is that your implication? LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #27

No, I'm not. I'm saying that they ALL deserve individual credit or none of them do. pnwmom Sep 2017 #31

You really think there was some conspiratorial plot in that? LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #36

Where did I say it was a conspiratorial plot? Why are you putting words in my mouth? pnwmom Sep 2017 #39

Well LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #57

That isn't common knowledge. The title of that article falsely represents the results of the poll. pnwmom Sep 2017 #59

Not. The. Point. LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #65

That's laughable, because the Republicans don't dislike Bernie. R B Garr Sep 2017 #66

You are confusing using Bernie as a pawn to get at Hillary, to actually liking and supporting him LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #68

Does the CBO have to provide this analysis asked for by the Minority Party? McConnell had previousl riversedge Sep 2017 #26

They have to score it period, with or without a request from the minority party. Hoyt Sep 2017 #30

This is nice, but the Bill has to be scored by CBO. It's not an option and would be scored without Hoyt Sep 2017 #28

This Promee Sep 2017 #33

Good, but from what I have read, the republicans behind this have already stated it doesn't matter still_one Sep 2017 #37

That was my thinking,WHY the hell would any Republican care about a CBO score? Bengus81 Sep 2017 #49

Its more about getting others to pressure them to not support it JI7 Sep 2017 #50

And he did it zentrum Sep 2017 #40
