The 3.5 T reconciliation will be trimmed back, and won’t pass by Oct 1 like Pelosi wants - I may not like the final outcome, but there many twists and turns yet to come; it’s not a done deal, and may still fail in the end - let’s hope so.
I’ve read here that the deal includes about a dozen significant tax increases. Anyone know if that is true?
CYA for the midterms. Total beltway theater. There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat in the Age of Obama.
These are the Assistant Democrats that enabled the latest assault on the USA
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)
They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.
I live in Maine’s Second Congressional district....Trump country.
Jared Golden, an Afghan war veteran, is no “moderate.”
He is a liberal, and he recently praised Biden’s handling of Afghanistan.
Because of rank choice voting, Golden “won” the election in 2018, even though the Republican incumbent, Bruce Poliquin, received 2200 more votes.
The “winning” candidate had to have 50% plus one vote, and the votes for the two additional candidates in the race.....ringers..... were allocated to Golden after additional rounds of “counting.”
Maine Democratic Congressman Jared Golden will be (presumably*) facing a rematch with Republican Bruce Polliquin in Maine’s 2nd District which voted for Donald Trump 52% to 45% for Joe Biden.
* Other candidates have annouced they are running for the second district.
