[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current recon bill cannot pass the House not to mention the Senate. That’s why Pelosi brings back the paid leave and the SALT cap talk reappears. [/quote]

Paid family leave was in response to Manchin playing games after the framework was agreed upon.

SALT is tied to the prescription price negotiation provision.  It's also vital for 2022.  The very people who would benefit are the suburban swing voters that swung blue in 2020 and red in 2021.  Dems should be touting how theyre bringing back SALT deductions.  It's absolutely core and vital.[/quote]

You don’t get it. The paid family leave and SALT are back because the House Dems in the battleground district got scared and won’t vote for the current bill.  Obviously yesterday’s result is a wake up call for them and they won’t risk their political life by passing the recon bill, which might be popular nationwide but not necessarily in their own districts. Manchin already said no to the paid leave and the progressives hate the SALT deduction.  In ohter words, Dems are back to Square one.

Do you still believe they can pass the bills this week or even by the end of the month?[/quote]

I don't think they can pass them ever. But if these House Dems in battleground districts already won't vote for it, what good would putting in more programs their constituents (proxies for VA voters) don't want? Those are the same policies McAuliffe ran on extremely unsuccessfully. [/quote]

I think that's right.  Frankly, I don't see any meaningful legislation coming out of this Congress now.[/quote]

Moderates are finally inching forward and showing some discontent. Thank you thank you
