Auto Bailout Bill Passes House

Posted on December 10, 2008 at 11:23 pm

From the New York Times:

The House approved the rescue plan by 237 to 170, mostly along party lines, with 32 Republicans mainly from states heavily dependent on the auto industry joining 205 Democrats in supporting the measure. Voting against were 150 Republicans and 20 Democrats.

The White House so far has failed to generate support among Senate Republicans, who have the power to kill the bill.

All Tennessee House Republicans voted against the measure along with Democratic Rep. Jim Cooper. Rep. Bart Gordon did not cast a vote.
