[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt this will have the votes to get through, but conceptually I am fine with it. [/quote]

It can under reconciliation if Democrats control the Senate (which they probably will)[/quote]
Need sixty votes and the house. Won’t happen. Dems will be lucky to get fifty senators. Montana, Arizona, Maryland, and Ohio currently toss ups. Dems already losing West Virginia and might hold Pennsylvania. If they lose any of the three toss ups, McConnell controls the senate. [/quote]

No, dumbass. You need 50 votes in the Senate under reconciliation rules.

McConnell is retiring.

So you’re now 0-for-2 with your understanding of how the Senate works.

In any scenario in which Harris is president, Democrats control Congress. They would likely control the house and maybe have 53 or 54 seats in the Senate. They pass a budget reconciliation bill, which is pretty much how every tax bill in the last 30 years has been done, and you need only 50 votes. [/quote]
