Sanders: Senate may use budget reconciliation to pass Biden agenda

[mysteryowl]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the incoming Senate Budget Committee chairman, said on Sunday that Senate Democrats would use a tactic known as budget reconciliation to pass parts of President Biden's agenda if Republicans refuse to support Biden's plans.

Flailing in madness.

4. Reconciliation can't be used for voting rights, much of healthcare reform, environmental laws. Nt

5. True, but that doesn't mean that we should not use it for things that it can be used for.

Also, we need to bring “wolf warrior” (to use a term coined in China) mouthpieces to the forefront, no more of the mealy mouthed people that don’t seem to understand how to craft winning communications. We can no longer allow republicans and their Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, and other allies to poison voters minds without us punching back hard and flooring those fools, while pining their lies to their foreheads.

6. Why not? Republicans tried to use reconciliation to kill the ACA...

...so, as far as I'm concerned, anything goes now.
