America's Middle Class working families Education and Health Care News Washington - The House has voted in favor of the Senate Reconciliation Bill. The votes again were easy enough to follow with all the Republicans objecting, and 220 Democrats voting yea, and 31 Democrats voting nay. This is also known as the "Senate Fixes Bill".
The Bill will now move back to the Senate for final passage. Yesterday Senate Majority Leader Reid practically assured the Democratic Caucus that the Senate has the votes to pass the bill.
This has been an awfully long day. The GOP with using tactics that most adults would not only find embarrassing but, would persuade their children not to use, has once again made their lack of support for America's Middle Class known. Rest assured the 200 amendments the GOP attached two H.R. 3590 giving their rich donators, every inch of rope they can.
H.R. 4872 Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Acts, explained in a statement by the President yesterday, "This legislation contributes to transforming the health care system to make health care more accessible and affordable for the American people. It also includes provisions that would eliminate wasteful subsidies for student loan lenders and invest these savings to fortify the Pell Grant program and increase Pell Grants for millions of students; strengthen community colleges; strengthen Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other Minority-Serving Institutions; and allow students to cap student loan payments at affordable levels. The education provisions are estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to reduce the deficit. The Administration urges quick action on this landmark reform."
Once again we urge the House to begin working immediately on the unemployment extension bill.
This certainly has been a day of multiple victories for America's Middle Class working families.
