The whole budget process needs to be redesigned. Yes, 51% is good. But, I would propose breaking up the budget into sections with a priority list and individual votes for each section. So fund active duty military first, and do it for one year. Then fund debt servicing. Go down the list; national parks, passports etc. and fund for a year.
Now, let the Dems vote against combat troops, parks, passports. When you get down to the garbage, deals can be made. I don’t care if the IRS is ceasing audits fur a while.
A Line Item Veto would be adequate for this purpose. Then each line vetoed could go back to see if the veto is overridden.
