Republicans push for changes in stimulus bill, then don’t support it
Senate Democrats advanced the $800 billion plus stimulus bill yesterday, but just three Republicans voted for the bill in a procedural vote, and no additional Republican support is expected in the final vote today. Even though they don’t support the bill, Republican Senators pushed for many changes in it.
