2. I've read they didn't like the score...

...the first time. They may have resubmitted it a couple days ago - possibly more than once.

[jenmito]

3. Where'd you read that? n/t

[jillan]

4. Link?

Will look around.

Just something I remember reading this afternoon.

If I find it again I will post it.

6. Ahh, here ya go...

...pretty sure this is what I read earlier about the CBO scores not coming in where they need to be to move forward with reconciliation.

".....House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller , D-Calif., was asked by reporters about reports that preliminary CBO scores showed that the reconciliation bill does not save $2 billion over five years as required under budget rules, and that the costs of the total bill topped $1 trillion. “I don’t know that yet,” he replied. “We’re waiting to hear back from CBO. When I left the meeting last night, we were sending it back to CBO.”

Rep. Robert E. Andrews , D-N.J., who has been asked by House leaders to help promote the bill, also declined to talk about whether initial CBO estimates may have revealed problems.

“They were preliminary scores. By the nature of the fact that it’s a draft, I don’t want to comment on it,” said Andrews."

7. Hmmmm that would really be a shame if it's CBO that brings this bill down.
