The budget reconciliation process gets around the filibuster, but it can only be used once a year apparently, and it was already used on the tax cut.

Once a fiscal year? Because the tax cit was approved before Christmas, so if it’s once per calendar year we’d be fine.

The tax cut was last year. Since then, 2018 started. If you’re correct, about using reconciliation once per year, it could have been used last week.
