number.

To be honest, it is almost impossible to figure out what is in and what is out once you start talking about the Senate version. We have no clue what the final bill (IF there even is one) will be.

That also (and this is one of the true damaging things that Machinema are doing) makes it REALLY hard to go out and sell it, as you do not want to hype up a programme that ends up on the cutting room floor.
