1. Is this the version that : When the Commission completes the reports

it to Senate, the Senate must vote UP or DOWN. They accept
it as is with no ability to ammend or make corrections????

4. Just read a crawl at Fox News. 60 votes required for the Conrad

Gregg Version. Did not pass.

The fact that the Senate had to accept the whole package with
no opportunity to make ammendaments or corrections was enough
to stop anything.

To leave the SS, Medicare and Medicaid to a final decision
by an outside commission was not good, IMO.

5. Yes it is.

2. Look!

A bipartisan vote against cutting the deficit. Is this the concensus that Obama was looking for?

3. Bobby Byrd was rolled on out to vote no on this

Hmmmm...
