[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This bill is different from the actual budget bill correct? [/quote]

Yes. Dumb progressives shuttled out the Federal Shutdown, the Debt Ceiling, Highway Legislation, Infrastructure, and the Social Welfare bill out to December.

All of this has to be taken care of in *checks watch* 7 weeks.[/quote]

How did you get 7 weeks?  The deadline is December 3. We have freaking four weeks. Pelosi keeps saying the vote will happen anytime soon because as day passes, it gets harder and harder to pass that social spending bill. [/quote]

December 3rd?  :shock: Well that's news to me. Is that all five bills or just BBB+BIF? [/quote]

Federal shutdown is on December 3rd. They already punted it once. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/30/us/politics/senate-spending-bill-government-shutdown.html[/quote]

Federal shutdown + Debt ceiling + Highway by December 3rd.

The GOP is going to help out on none of these. Basically the Dem leaders are asking vulnerable house dems to vote for the social spending AND debt ceiling increase unilaterally. It’s like they are asking for political suicide. [/quote]

Incredible.

Something that isn't clear to me - the debt ceiling. That has to be done through budget reconciliation right? Are they legally allowed to put all this stuff - the BBB and the Debt Ceiling under one reconciliation package? And its only one reconciliation a year right -- which means if they don't get it done this December it has to wait til next December?[/quote]

They can combine the BBB and the debt ceiling in one recon bill. And no the Dems can theoretically do the recon process more than once a year.
