WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell threatened Thursday to derail a bill designed to boost semiconductor manufacturing in the United States if Democrats revive their stalled climate and social policy package.
The rejuvenation of the Democratic reconciliation package, central to President Joe Biden's agenda, remains a work in progress and is far from certain. But with some signs of progress in the negotiations, McConnell is moving to complicate Democratic plans by warning that Republicans would react by stopping separate semiconductor legislation from moving over the finish line in the coming weeks, despite its bipartisan support.
Let me be perfectly clear: there will be no bipartisan USICA as long as Democrats are pursuing a partisan reconciliation bill," McConnell tweeted, referring to the shorthand name for the computer chips bill that passed the Senate last year.
Both chambers of Congress have passed their versions of the legislation, which would include $52 billion in incentives for companies to locate chip manufacturing plants in the U.S. Lawmakers are now trying to reconcile the considerable differences between the two bills, but at a pace that has many supporters worried the job won't get done before lawmakers break for their August recess.

(16,927 posts)but either way - it shows that there is clearly a problem.
It all goes back to the simple premise: Majority rules!
If the 'minority' didn't do the work to make sure THEY had some input - or made sure that THEY would be the majority - then we go on - the winning 'majority' has what they want and the 'minority' has to go back to make plans to become the 'majority.'
So, FUCK YOU, MITCH - you're a LOSER - and the 'system' still gives you 'power' - and that is WRONG!
And DEMS, DUMP the filibuster! If we work out of fear we don't deserve to win......
