Funny Story: Due to a typographical error, the $39 billion dollar spending cut may be voided. This is the one that cut Medicare, Medicaid, student loans, and other things compassionate conservatives hate (note the sarcasm). The question comes from a typographical error was pertaining to the amount of months that Medicare would pay for oxygen tanks, which were different in the House and Senate versions. The bill passed 51-50 in the Senate (Cheney broke the tie), and 216-214 in the House. As we’re now closer to the election, the chances of one voter switching is that much greater. Reuters reported though that there was a “chance” the bill would be voided, but it would appear that the House and Senate bills were different, and therefore what the president signed wasn’t a joint bill, therefore not law. Hopefully it comes up for a revote, just to put it back in the news and get the discussion going again. This highlights the moral values party – the Democrats of course. [Link]
