Thanks for the clarification, Parthenon. William, you… you mean the democrats voted their districts’ interests instead of party lines? Even over the desires of the house leader?

Crazy talk.

If voting against the bill was “in their districts’ interests”, then it looks like more Republicans (132) were for their their districts’ interests than Democrats (95).

Thanks for the clarification, Parthenon.

Jesus fucking Christ, do you people listen to yourselves? At the very least, both parties share culpability on this one.

Any time our economy gets too in line with one of the two competing ideologies (and America, like nearly all modern countries, tends to consistently have two ideologies), it goes to shit. Balance is key. More on topic, I feel the historical comparison is relevant.
