Nay.
Instead of all of the cuts and abolitions of much needed social programs we should be raising taxes on the rich and cutting the bloated defense budget.

[Peter]

Abstain.
I am not sure that abolishing all federally funded public housing is a good idea, though I am mindful that meaures need to be taken on the deficit.

[Ebowed]

The bill has enough votes to pass.  Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

[Jake]

Nay

This bill is nothing more than a blow to those who most need the assistance of the federal government. Instead of reducing the budget deficit by raising taxes to cover spending raises, we cut a couple drips and drops away from stuff that actually helps people, and we're still left with a deficit. Nice job guys, especially the child from Wisconsin who's only goal is his own success.

Abstain, for the record.

There's not enough votes to override the veto so I'm not going to try. (And for some reason I read am and not pm for the 24 hours)
