The no votes signal the sense that there are not enough spending cuts. $20 trillion in debt is what is projected, you folks are OK with that?

The stock market today says that the "majority of the House majority" don't know what they are talking about.

I wonder how many of those Congress members who voted "no" are enjoying the increase in their stock portfolio today! Also, wonder if any of them had been the last vote needed to pass it, would they have done it?

Thanks to the one House republican who crossed party lines and voted yes. To the two democrats who voted no - shame on you.

To the GOP members who stuck to their principles, thank you. To those who are afraid of blame and crossed over, thanks for confirming every negative thing ever said about politicians. I will vote against you.
