(7,402 posts)This bill required a 2/3 vote for passage and got it.
What does the bill do? It assures that money for Israel bypasses a government shutdown while we invoke a shutdown for our own country. That's right, Israel comes before the American people.
Shows the outsized power that goes with generous cash to politicians'. Time for public financing of elections as that is the only way to clean up this mess. That would also negate Citizens United. Another recent example of this is the Democratic woman senator from Arizona that received $75,000 from drug companies/pharmacies then came out against Medicare being allowed to negotiate drug prices. Since the bad guys have more money than the good guys this is what you get every time. End the corruption now!
