Stephanie Herseth Sandlin has a bill as well. Mr. Mitchell has worked very hard on his bill. But however that might be considered, we believe that technically it does not need a waiver of PAYGO. But, clearly, the unemployment insurance, which would be considered as an emergency, as was the stimulus for stimulating the economy, would be dealt with as an emergency." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
