Hmmm. It was my impression that appropriations couldn't be filibustered. Isn't that the way the rats got Obamacare passed? I must have something wrong.

Yes. You have it wrong.

Only conservative issues and agendas can be filibustered.

Progressive, socialist, or communist issues and agendas are totally filibuster-proofed.

Budgetary bills can be forced through by simple majority under reconciliation.

This is an Appropriations (actual funding) bill, which is different. I don’t think reconciliation applies.
