Finance Committee Delays Vote
Rarely does Congress ever get anything right. Two weeks ago, the Senate Finance Committee decided to hold a vote on the Baucus Bill before the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had a chance to put a price tag on the legislation.
Well, today the committee has decided that it should wait at least 24 hours before voting on the bill, in order to allow the CBO a chance to examine the legislation. Most of the senators still haven’t read the entire monstrosity, but at least they’ll know the price tag.
