More updates for 4241: REPUBLICAN ARE SHORT FOR 15 VOTES NOW

Republican have agreed to let go some of their their planned cuts under health and nutrition programs for the poor, medicare and food stamps in order to seek votes from those who were opposing. They are however still lacking few votes and so it is uncertain that bill will come on the floor today. Republican needs 218 votes and they are lacking 15 votes. The budget cut will go down from 50 to 45. Once it reaches 45 the Republicans will have 218 votes and the bill will be brought on floor for one hour debate and voting.
