By Rick Manning – The U.S. Senate returns from their ten day President’s Day break on Monday facing a deadline for funding the federal government of Friday, Mar. 4.

Surprise, surprise, Congress hasn’t changed–they’re still nervous to cut spending! Here are the names of the 92 House Republicans that stood with Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats when they voted yesterday AGAINST Rep.
