    When I came to Congress, any representative could amend a spending bill on the House floor. Today, no amdts are allowed. Congress is broken.

        Next you’re going to be asking for CBO scores before you vote on bills.

        both parties should always insist on carefully calculated CBO scores. What's happening sets a dangerous precedent.

        why say both parties? Haven't Dems always had CBO scores? It was a big part of Obamacare process.

        Because if next time around, the Dems rely on this particular example to avoid getting CBO scores, our democracy will suffer.

        seems like a false equivalency. In old cases like this Dems wanted a CBO score so they could know the effects of their bill

        Repubs don't want a CBO score because of the unpopularity of their underlying policy goals. Not really a problem for Dems.

        Yup! But I dont want Dems to copy the strategy. Theres support for big, expensive progs (incl me!) Not an excuse to ignore data

        yes, but why even bring Dems into it? They want a score now and wanted one then. This all on Republicans.

        I disagree with you on countless issues ideologically, but I wish way more members of Congress had your character and backbone.

        why not amend legislation in committee? Isn't that how the House is structured?

        At this point I'd go for courage, given it could cost him his seat.

        Democracy is broken. The only question now is whether we can fix it. GOP is dangerously close to destroying it.
