increase contingent upon congress passing an additional $1.8 trillion in cuts. indiana republican congressman mike pence who we heard from just a few moments ago, compared the ongoing negotiation to, "all the sausage making" saying nancy pelosi hopes the delayed vote will bring republicans back to the table for a ball,ed agreement. 's in a statement she says, "republicans have taken us to the brink of economic chaos. the delay must end now so we can focus on the american people's top priority. creating jobs and growing the economy. so, steve rattner, this is getting somewhat serious, because it's not as if the house republicans voted down this bill, or said they wouldn't vote for the bill, for the same reason that the democrats are against this bill. i mean, even if they come to an agreement that passes, harry reid said this bill was going to be killed in the senate anyway.
