Spend-a-thon update
Just before I left for school, the final vote was taken on HR 1.
The total amount capped out at $819 Billion (at least according to C-SPAN).
It passed 244 to 188. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/rol
Going by this count, there was one not voting (Ginny Brown-Waite, a Republican) and 2 seats still vacant.
177 of 178 Republicans voted against it along with 11 Democrats.
So, last post's figures were off. There are 255 Democrats and 178 Republicans, but no Independents, according to this roll call. That's Democrats with nearly 59% of the House and 2 seats still vacant. If they get them both, that's 257 or a definite 59%.
