“October 15: Budget Resolution deadline for committees to report budget reconciliation legislation (health care reform and student loan reform), although congressional leaders will initially try to move a free-standing health reform bill without budget reconciliation's filibuster-proof protections. “
but that's just the deadline to REPORT ? budget reconciliation legislation (health care reform and student loan reform), ...
Isn't that report what they just knocked together behind closed doors, sans republicans?
I cannot understand how one party can be totally excluded from meetings/deliberations.
One party having a majority has never meant, that I recall, that that party has total power with NO input from the other side at all. And yet that is exactly what has been going on since day one.
It's tantamount to a coup.
It is!!!
“Isn’t that report what they just knocked together behind closed doors, sans republicans?”
with barely a whimper from them. WHY?
Not to mention the fact that this massive policy change is far from a mere “budget reconciliation.”
