They probably want to make sure their own pork projects end up in the bill.

i think the senate is going to be trickier. you have four rogue senators that can gum up the works at any time.

the only law enforcement that had the resources to do the investigation of mortgage fraud was FBI and DOJ and they were bought off.

Banks that are failing due to mismanagement or other factors aren't the same as banks loaning huge sums to a country and that country failing to pay its obligations. In effect Greece was taken over, put into receivership, until such time it has paid its debts off. You keep wanting to make the banks the bad guys in this situation. No, creating incredibly generous benefits for its citizens without the means to pay for it just means Greece wss being run by idealists who didn't understand economics. Banks wanting their money back? What do you expect? Banks aren't a government that prints money. They aren't in a position to forgive debt. Governments can't get away with that for very long either. You need to wake up to the reality that you can't just create utopia if you want to. Things come at a price. If you can't pay then you have to do without.

i thought the senate was supposed to do their own thing instead of just threatening to vote against the house version?

Keeping their version from seeing the light of day will kill the whole thing.

The embattled DNC vice chair endorsed Rep. Jasmine Crockett as the confrontational leader Democrats need.

The liberal white guy going on the hip black media personality's show and saying what that audience wants to hear. Pandering 101. A reason why I wouldn't trust Hogg at all.

they followed the troikas plan which was cut govt spending, and it shrunk the private sector economy making them more bankrupt than before

no the money was funnelled through greece to french and german banks which was a 3rd bailout.
