Could be. The person in the House that should know the rules, should be on the spot here.

A tax calculator, so you can see how you’ll do with it.

Tell the parliamentarian to pound sand. The Senate rule is what the President of the Senate says it is

The point is, the leadership of the House should know this.

My thought, too. Maybe it was done on purpose? Wouldn't put it past Ryan (the worm).

I don’t know. All I know is time is getting short.

This should be completed tomorrow, but then it should have been completed today also.

At least worms are good for something. I think you’re being too kind.

LOL

Vice President Pence should rule that the bill violate none of the Senate rules. Then the Senate would vote on whether to overrule him. Would any Republicans vote to overrule?

RE: The Senate

Ugh! I’ve had about all I can stand of those asswipes. Bernie’s up there ranting about everything under the sun. Wyden calls him “eloquent” (yeah, if a ranting moron is “eloquent”). Some other dickhead tries to imitate Hillary and coughs his way through his rant. All of them just spout “tax cuts for the rich!” which they all have to know is a lie.

How did such a repugnant group of sub-humans EVER end up with any kind of power at all in our country. How pathetic. These creatures are so full of sanctimonious fake rage that I keep hoping one (or more) of them will keel over.

“”One provision that caused Byrd problems allows 529 plans to be used for homeschooling pro””

Oh! That’s a big help in clearing it all up. I’m sure we all know what the heck “529 plans” mean...

“”I haven’t got a clue.””

Don’t feel bad - I’m sure you are not alone! I’ll join you and say I don’t have a clue either!

So these provisions were fine 2 weeks ago but suddenly not... the system is shady. If course it’s a Cruz amendment so this was probably a setup by Mitch

The Byrd rule is that anything over 1.5 trillion dollars, has to have 60 votes. It is confusing to know for sure if it will add 1.5 trillion to the deficit. I have heard 1.7 trillion will be added but then again I have heard 2.5 trillion so who knows. Funny how democrats are suddenly worried about a debt of 22.5 trillion after putting 11 trillion towards the debt the last 8 years.

One was using taxes from a college fund for homeschooling and private k-12 schooling from Cruz. And other one is Hillsdale college.
