‘ . . . the measure ended up comfortably passing the House by a vote of 263-171 after members who voted to kill it earlier in the week came around to a Senate version . . . ’
‘ . . . Twelve switched votes were needed to pass the bill; in the end, 58 House members signed on, including Zach Wamp, R-Tenn.
‘“We’re out of choices. Our backs are up against the wall,” Wamp said. . . . ’

2) The U.S. economy crashes and burns. You think the 2008-2009 Recession was a big deal? You ain’t seen nothing yet!
