Senator McCaskill's Twitter via Atrios:
Proud we cut over 100 billion out of recov bill.Many Ds don't like it, but needed to be done.The silly stuff Rs keep talking about is OUT.
"Proud" to have cut the possibility of 2.5 million new jobs. Seriously?!
Yep. The Senate Democrats have an awesome way of dealing with crazy people: when the Republicans "talk about stuff," the Democrats -- errrm -- cut it? God-effing-dammit.
Atrios:
That silly stuff includes big reductions (relative to the House Bill) in food stamps, school construction, head start, and COBRA subsidies for people who have lost their jobs.
Silly!
