Agreed. The Senator from Missouri is exactly correct. If we voted, it would move the process of both funding the government-- very important--and getting middle-class tax relief--also very important--forward. Mrs. McCASKILL.

We are ready to vote. You know, the American people do not get this game. The bill was passed in the House. Why are we not voting? Why is the Republican Party blocking its own bill?
