The 1,071-page bill was published late Thursday evening.

The House of Representatives passed the bill Friday afternoon, seemingly contradicting Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) pledge to allow the public 48 hours
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to view the bill before Congress voted on it.
---------------------------------------------


House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said after the bill passed on a party-line vote Friday: “This vote isn’t about a Democrat or Republican win, it’s about a fundamental difference in how we create jobs and grow the economy. Every Republican
----------------
in the House voted against this bill today for one simple reason--we believe that
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congress can do better and we had a plan to achieve that goal.”
--------------------------------------------------------------
“176 Republicans and 7 Democrats believe Congress can do better,” said Cantor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Friday’s vote, Speaker Pelosi said: "Working together under our new president, we were able to pass legislation today that is transformational for what it will do for our economy.”

THERE WAS NO WORKING TOGETHER IN THE HOUSE, THE LADY (USING THE TERM LOOSELY) IS FULL OF IT UP TO HER EYE BALLS.

“On the steps of the Capitol — one week and one day before Congress acted the first time — the president inspired the nation with a message of hope that we would take the country in a ‘New Direction,’” she said. “He said that we will ‘harness the sun, and the wind, and soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.’”
