      They omitted language blocking an automatic cost of living increase which was present in the Senate bill. This is explained in the article.

        Uhhh… is that how that works? I would imagine you cant do a bait and switch where you pass one bill and propose another when it gets to the senate.

        The bill already passed through the house.

          The Senate produced their own bill, which McCarthy did not bring to the floor for a vote. This bill from the house now goes to the Senate to die.

          The senate had been working towards voting on (because a group of republican senators were delaying it) a bill that was almost identical to what just passed the house.
