officials and other colleagues trying to understand what the implications were. so i am going back to the hill today, going to meet with a lot of of my colleagues and get to where we need to go. i know we have to pay our bills. that is probably the most overriding thing driving me. but as i said yesterday, there are parts of this bill that i would not vote for if they were a free standing bill. the whole process is not one that is the way that the government should operate. we need regular order. that to me, congresswoman, sounds like a reluctant yes at this point. am i reading that right? i am not going to tell you one way or the other because i am going to keep asking questions and if i learn anything that s very disturbing today, i will have you know, i want to understand how precedent setting this bill is. how will this impact future bills? what are the domestic spending cuts, what are the programs really going to cut? are seniors going to be hurt. real questions th
