They need 60 votes in the senate to pass that bill. They don’t have 60 votes in the senate.

At this point I’m just hoping that democrats don’t get 60 votes to enact single payer healthcare after the midterms.

Seriously, is this the first time you’ve been on this site since the ‘90s? The President of the Senate, that is the Vice President, can rule that the measure is a budget-fighting bill, and it passes with 50 votes.

Oh, and worry troll, suck on this fact:

The Democrats could win every contest in the Senate, and still be FIVE votes short of 60 votes.

If this is the one passed and sent to obamas desk it got there with less than 60 votes.
