ELI5 What is the Boehner Bill that just passed? What does it cut?
gpt
The bill passed the House of Representatives but was rejected by the Senate. 

In the United States, in order for a bill to become law it must:

- Pass the lower house (House of Representatives)
- Pass the upper house (The Senate)
- Be signed by the Executive (The President)

This bill cleared the first hurdle but never had any chance of passing the 2nd or 3rd.
