Recent Senate Votes
Public Safety Employee Withdrawals – Trade Promotion Authority – Cloture Vote Agreed to (60-37, 3 Not Voting)
The Senate agreed to a motion to invoke cloture on a motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to the bill. The House amendment would grant Trade Promotion Authority, under which implementing legislation for trade agreements negotiated by the administration would be considered by Congress under expedited procedures and could not be amended.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
For their behavior on this topic both Senators will not receive another penny or vote from me. This literally was a vote to stop discussion on the unconstitutional constraints established by Presidential negotiation.  The matador effect. They break their oath of office and really don't want to talk about it. The Republican party is now the moderate wing of the Socialist Republic of America.

Recent House Votes
IPAB Repeal – Passage Vote Passed (244-154, 35 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would repeal the provisions of the 2010 health care overhaul that created the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), which is designed to recommend cost-cutting measures if Medicare spending exceeds a target growth rate. The cost of repealing IPAB would be offset by rescinding an estimated $8.8 billion from the Prevention and Public Health Fund created under the 2010 health care overhaul.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Said it before, this is simply politicians covering their asses. They are pretending to be fighting against a system they actually support.  It is no different that what you see with the IRS. For national health care there will have to be a meting out of resources, it is inevitable, the number of doctors will shrink and the fixed costs will continue to rise.  Call it whatever you will, that there will be groups of people deciding based on costs and demographics, who gets what, IS CERTAIN.

EPA Carbon Emission Rules -- Passage Vote Passed (247-180, 6 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would postpone the dates by when states and existing fossil-fuel power plants must comply with current or future EPA rules to reduce carbon emissions until all judicial challenges are completed, and it allows state governors to opt out of developing an emissions reduction plan or complying with a federal plan for existing plants if he or she determines that the requirement would have an adverse effect on electricity ratepayers.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
All we have to do is last another 2 years before this administration is evaporated.  On this topic, I think the Republicans will roll back the rules that are oppressive. David Scott on the other hand voted like a Democrat, blithely unaware of reality.
