The house does. President Biden will never go with this anyway. Their real reason for pushing this so hard right now, they think if it passes they can then say…see a dem president took away your SS, medicare and Medicaid. President Biden is too smart for that kind of nonsense, and he cares too much to ever go along with their nonsense.
