That $35 insulin cap alone will change lives in WV.

Fine. Put that in a separate bill. Not a bill with all the other crap.

A separate bill will need 60 votes; this one doesn’t.

This one won't get 50 votes.
A bill that limits the cost of insulin is more likely to get 60 votes than this one getting 50 votes.

Tell me..... how can a portion of a bill requiring a simple majority (the insulin part) then require 60 votes when it only requires a majority in the current bill?
Maybe this tells you that this ridiculous BBB bill should not pass with a simple majority.
This bill should NEVER fall under reconciliation.

If Republicans were willing to do their jobs and actually govern, rather than be Twitter trolls - side eye Ted Cruz, then sure break up the bill and bring them all separate. I’m a Democrat and I would absolutely love that. But the reality is Republicans have not wanted to govern for 20 years if not longer. And it’s not that they want to “shrink government,” they want to be obstructionist for ANY policy other than cut tax for billionaires and wealthy corporations. And why not cut taxes? I mean it’s not like we need the Public Good. Healthcare? No! go ahead and die. Masks are tyranny! Schools? Oh no! We should all homeschool like little Maddy Cawthorne with Christo-fascist Brave Heart curriculum. GOP couldn’t even get an infrastructure bill passed.

They block government and any ability for serious people to govern and then scream “no fair no fair” when Democrats do things on their own.

I always think it's funny when Democrats say Republicans don't want to govern just because they won't agree to the Democrats' policies.

Other than radical judges and tax cuts for the 1%, what are the Republican policies?

Should I look to the 2020 platform which was literally, whatever Donald says, is our platform?

Mitch McConnell has already said that there is no platform for 2022.

That CBO analysis is a death knell. And for all those who shout 'but climate change' - barely 5% of that wasteful social spending bill has anything to do with climate.

[Anonymous]

About that CBO score...

Please stop listening to republicans. They lie about everything, all of the time.

A cost of $3 trillion over 10 years is far greater than the $0 cost the Biden team was touting for months. Especially passed in the year when we have the highest inflation on record since the 1980s!

Nah, just pawning the progressives. They were offered means testing - they said no. Not only no but hell no. So you get nothing.

This nation has a ton of safety nets to care for children. The US is by far the best nation in helping those who cannot help themselves.
Children here do not starve. Children in Afghanistan do.
