The Democrats rather both sides keep it at 60 votes. It keeps locked in the Big Government status quo.

If you want a change to small government, you will NEVER get it with the 60 vote rule.

So bills need 51 votes, but we need 60 for a spending bill? Am I getting that right? And why do we need 60? If we don’t get 60 then its filibuster? I thought the longest filibuster was 24 hours? So wait 24 hours and pass with 51? Or am I missing something?
