Recent Senate Votes:

STOCK Act
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=14&chamber=S&congress=1122
Vote Passed (96-3, 1 Not Voting)
This Senate bill would strengthen rules prohibiting lawmakers, Capitol Hill staff and some executive branch officials from using confidential information to buy or sell stocks. The House is expected to take up the bill this week.
I said it before; this is a bill that all about showmanship.  Everybody, virtually votes for it, yet the dishonest unethical persons included will not be dissuaded from self aggrandizement. 
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Guys the problem here is that only dumb asses believe your bullshit  "I'm going to be honest"   facade. Just drop it already, it is an embarrassing admission that you have members that are dishonest.


Recent House Votes:

Fiscal Responsibility and Retirement Security Act
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=18&chamber=H&congress=1122
Vote Passed (267-159, 6 Not Voting)
The House voted to repeal the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) program, a provision in the 2010 health care law that was intended to provide long-term care but was suspended after the Department of Health and Human Services determined it could not be solvent for 75 years as required by the law. The bill's future in the Senate is unclear.
Knocking the slats out of ObamaCare.   With little doubt the Senate will table.  David, explain to me, like I was from College Park, why predicted insolvency is acceptable?
Rep. David Scott voted NO

Pro-Growth Budgeting Act of 2011
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=30&chamber=H&congress=1122
Vote Passed (242-179, 11 Not Voting)
This House measure would require the CBO to assess a bill's impact on long-term economic growth. The Senate is unlikely to take up the bill.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Again, my representative votes against checking the facts. And, again, the Senate will table the legislation.

Baseline Reform Act of 2011
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=32&chamber=H&congress=1122
Vote Passed (235-177, 20 Not Voting)
This House bill would stop the Congressional Budget Office from incorporating inflation increases into its spending projections. The Senate is unlikely to take up the bill.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Lots of stuff here about the CBO, suspect that POTUS has been pressuring the outfit to cook the numbers.  Evidence is obvious in the recent unemployment figures.  There, the government proves that it sucks at developing jobs, then because people are too long in searching for a job, excludes those persons the official unemployed count.  I'll bet if those folks could be given benefits they would count. 
Cut the crap David.

FAA Modernization and Reform Act
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=33&chamber=H&congress=1122
Vote Passed (248-169, 15 Not Voting)
The House passed this conference report authorizing $15.9 billion per year through 2015 for the Federal Aviation Administration. The Senate is scheduled to take up the measure this week.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
A lot of his consitituents south of Atlanta depend on a vibrant Hartsfield Airport.  At least he is not total dolt.

Upcoming Votes:
FAA Modernization and Reform Act - H.R.658
The Senate is scheduled to take up the FAA authorization conference report.
Here is one that David Scott might actually be bothered WHEN Harry blocks it in the Senate.

Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act - S.1813
The Senate may also take up a two-year, $109 billion highway bill.
Just once, I would like to see one of these highway bills be available only for aging bridge repair.  Problem is, many are used to cerate highways into undeveloped areas, perpetuating urban sprall. 

Expedited Line-Item Veto and Rescissions Act of 2011 - H.R.3521
This House bill would give the president a line-item veto over discretionary spending bills. 
How many variations of this thing are there?

STOCK Act - S.2038
The House is expected to take up this bill to curb stock trading by legislators and staff based on confidential information.
"I'LL BE GOOD"
BULLSHIT !!
