Democratic and Republican members of the group emerged from an evening meeting, saying that they had found "a way forward," but that no details would be released until they have had time to put their agreement in legislative language and go over it, line by line. Republican Representative Raul Labrador was the only member of the group not to go along with the accord. He told reporters that he had concerns with its healthcare provisions.

They are stabbing the American middle class in the back, at the behest big money interests. The wealthy class wants to drive down wage rates even further, and drive up rents even higher. Their greed knows no bounds. And the Senate does their bidding. Jun 05, 2013 9:42pm EDT  --  Report as abuse See All Comments » Add Your Comment
