Okay, I am looking at the 2021 Congressional CALENDAR and I see only three more days that Congress (House) is in session before it goes into recess until the middle of July when it goes back into session for 9 days until the end of the month. .
Then the House is in recess for ALL of August and does not come back into session until September 20. Remember the House has to pass the Reconciliation Pork Package FIRST before it goes to the Senate.
Since the DEADLINE to pass in the Senate is September 30, just how can this be done considering the Senate has to spend time on it if it can even be passed by the House before the end of September?
They pulled some sort of shenanigans to get around the bill having to originate in the house with ACA, didn’t they?
it went to federal court over whether it was a revenue raising bill or not.
at any rate, I don’t see this stopping them.
Recipie for failure
As i recall, Obamacare was about 2000 pages, and there were amendments and changes throughout the legislative process. Theres no way anyone was able to read that bill.before voting on it. The same may well.happen here. Thousands of pages and a quick vote will probably happen.
Yeah, but from proposal to passage on Obamacare the time frame was over a year. This is much SHORTER. September 30 is the deadline for Reconciliation this year.
They will push it into the next session. I believe that is probably the plan.
Assuming they actually want it passed in the first place....
They do this every time. They run the bill hard up against the deadline on purpose, then they scream and cry how it needs to be passed or close the government. They then scare the public into thinking the worlds coming to an end so it has to be passed right now. They bludgeon the pubbies with it all the while sneaking in every communist goodie the can dream up and viola McConnell cajoles the senate into voting for it. Same same different year.
