Why couldn't the House pass legislation now

[duforsure]

Reversing all the tax give away's given to the wealthy in the last tax bill to increase revenues ASAP ? And other revenue generators before they propose all social programs be destroyed? All oil subsides gone, and all tax write offs gone. They better look at all the costs and get busy reducing these loopholes and money going out to the wealthy , or things will keep getting more out of control.

1. Desire is the operatove & integrity are the terms you are looking for...

[TexasProgresive]

2. Would never see the light of day in the Senate

McTurtle would put the bill to the bottom of the huge stack of bills the house has passed that he refuses to allow to be debated.

3. They should pass it and send it to the senate anyway...

then shine a light on the their willingness to ignore the suffering of the nation.

5. I agree, but could be used to pressure them before the election.

4. McConnell is blocking 300+ bills from being voted on in the US Senate.

The US senate hasn't even voted yet on HR 1. Add your bill to the pile.

It's a matter of logistics. They are not in Washington.
