"Senate Democrats were quick to condemn the plan, though they will be unable to stop the legislation under the procedure Republicans plan to use to pass it." Interesting how Dems never use the same "procedure".

Indeed they did, and twice under Biden. The American Rescue Plan Act and Inflation Reduction Act were both reconciliation bills. They also, to their credit, tried to use a little known procedure called messages between the chambers to pass the John Lewis VRA Act, but conservative Dems shot it down

"conservative dems" is a hilarious term, you mean "conservatives who ran as dems specifically to block progress"

Many who retired at 62 will now find themselves unable to qualify for health insurance under ACA or the free market. The changes to Medicaid should be delayed by 3 years

So is Ron Johnson full of 💩 per usual? He said he wasn’t voting for raising the debt.

I’m actually surprised the language of the bill isn’t “and only those who voted Democratic will pay taxes from now on.” Because that seems likely for them to include and get passed. (With Schumer’s help, no doubt.)

Strip the 1% tax cuts. Strip the immunity from judicial oversight. Strip the cuts to the VA, Medicare, Medicaid, and SS. And so on.

More manipulation of error. The one action you need to do is transform the system from bottom up to top down; of my plan could see the light of day ,there would be smooth system of allocation. 90% of humans in America would benefit.Right now America has an UNSUSTAINABLE system of bottom up economics
