since both included Chained CPI. Glad this is going to the New Congress and we have more time to fight Chained CPI.

The Pres and Harry should send the House back only legislation that lets them expire on the those 250 and above with no cuts period.

And then tell the PUKES if they want any tax cuts back for anybody above that then they have to quit demanding cuts to SS/Medicare/Medicaid and drop all opposition to raising the debt ceiling, and agree to cut defense, oil subsidies etc.
