Now I go from stern to angry.
If the upcoming months show this to pan out the way the “restraint” argument has predicted they will (ie. poorly), then this will be an excellent point for primary race candidates to raise with me. In fact, I will seek out their position on this issue, and be sympathetic to them if they opposed the bill.
IN THE HOUSE:
Dale Kildee voted aye.
Jan Schakowsky voted aye.
Edolphus Towns voted aye.
IN THE SENATE:
Barack Obama voted aye.
Dick Durbin voted aye.
Hillary Clinton voted aye.
Charles Schumer voted aye.
Carl Levin voted aye.
Dabbie Stabenow voted nay.
Again, a thank you to Senator Stabenow. You get an A+.
All of the others have failed the Econ homework today.
