Reuters reports that the House of Representatives has passed the Labor-HHS appropriations bill, which includes Social Security, by a vote of 274-141. The bill has now passed in both the House and Senate and will go to the President for a certain veto. Neither the House nor the Senate was able to pass the bill by a veto-proof majority, which means that we are back at square one.

While the veto over-ride of the water projects authorization bill is a good sign, it's probably not a break in the dam (pun intended). Dems may hold this appropriation bill until the military bill is ready to be sent to the White House so that the comparison (sign one, veto the other) can be more stark.
