MegaVote: GA 13th, 3/7/2011

All the votes about the det ceiling are a bunch of crap.  Congressmen should simply pass a resolution that says we'll spend whatever money we deenm necessary.  That's the result I always see, artificial barriers are artificial.  I think the thing has been raised 16 times in the last 5 years, something like that.
That David Scott voted to repeal part of the Healthcare program is pleasing, if not surprising.
