considered all day how to move this forward. they spent a lot of hours behind closed doors trying to figure out the way forward. what we heard from members is essentially they did not like the idea that this senate bill doesn t cut spending. a lot of them feel like they were elected and brought to washington to cut spending, to get a control on all the government spenting that goes on. and bottom line is is that this bill that the senate hammered out. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell ham medicine out with the vice president of the united states has $626 billion in new tax revenue but only some $15 billion in spending cuts. and so essentially $41 of new taxes for every dollar of spending cut. and so a lot of the republicans were telling their leaders that they don t like this bill. they think it s a bad deal. they should tack on an amendment spending cuts attached. the bottom line was time is running out. we are less than 48 hours from a new congress being sworn in.
