They voted for Military cuts if they could not come to a compromise. They gave their word. They voted Yea. It's public record.
They had no intention of following through. They knew they would not come to a compromise. They also knew it didn't matter.
I suppose that is why congress only worked 147 days out of 365. They have to keep up appearances. That's a cushy job, benefits are great.
They gave their word, it's all public record. GOP are weaseling out. Hey Media, where's that story?

(32,009 posts)If there is any change in this agreement it must be approved by both the House and the Senate. The GOP controls the House and the Democrats the Senate. So it will take two to tango.

(12,461 posts)Make the GOP stand by their vote. Don't let them manipulate their a way to their agenda. This is what they wanted all along...the reason why they had the fight last year...to cut vital programs for the neediest among us, while they protected the Defense budget. GUESS WHAT! They got exactly what they wanted.
No reason to vote, what democracy.
