From earlier...

So you're in the hands of 'Goober' Graham....

It's an upside down world

[MikelTackNailer]

Hagerty has been a surprisingly straight shooter for my state but declaring Graham the final arbiter is a stretch even for this marginal-majority effort. I’d feel much better if Lindsey were confined to drooling over Defense bills.

There’s good reason President Trump golfs with him all the time (Enemies Closer).

"unless Graham as Budget chair says they are valid objections"

God help us all...

[Openurmind]

“Does it have a lot of defense spending?

Yes...

“OK! GOOD TO GO AT ANY COST!”

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Graham wants the bill to pass, so for anyone who also wants the bill to pass, this is a positive development. Graham's positions on other issues are irrelevant.

That's why the Democrats are angry.

The way to get around the parliamentarian and filibuster is to first pass a reconciliation bill with tax changes (22% VAT, 80% corporate tax rate, 80% top personal bracket tax rate) even Senate Democrats would despise and then offer up a follow-up corrective bill which would remove the despicable tax changes and add the stuff that should get passed.
