Share Comments 270 Senate Democrats voted to adopt statutory pay-go rules for legislative business on Thursday, in what party leaders described as an affirmation of their commitment to budgetary discipline. They received no Republican votes.
The measure, which would require that any additional spending measure be offset by funds from elsewhere, passed the chamber with 60 Democrats voting yea and 40 Republicans voting nay.
Such a strict partisan breakdown is hardly rare in the current Congress. But for pay-go, it is a bit unique. Four Republican senators who opposed the measure on Thursday voted for nearly an identical measure in 2006.
That list includes Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, both moderates from Maine, George Voinovich, the retiring Senator from Ohio, and John McCain, the party's standard-bearer in the 2008 presidential elections. What prompted the four to switch isn't entirely clear. The respective pieces of legislation are not that far apart, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's office confirmed.
