Pelosi Takes Step to Quell Moderates' Budget Rebellion
Newsmax ^ | 8/15/2021

Posted on 08/15/2021 8:17:26 AM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is proposing a procedural vote this month that would set up future passage of two economic measures crucial to President Joe Biden's domestic agenda, a move Democratic leaders hope will win votes from unhappy party moderates.

In a letter Sunday to Democratic lawmakers, Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested that the House will take a single vote that would clear an initial hurdle for both a budget resolution and a separate infrastructure bill. The budget blueprint would open the gate for Congress to later consider a separate, $3.5 trillion, 10-year bill for social and environment programs.

Nine centrist Democrats said Friday they would vote against the budget resolution until the House first approves the bipartisan, $1 trillion package of road, railway and other infrastructure projects. That measure, which the Senate approved last week, is the top priority for moderates, who want to bank a quick win by sending it to Biden for his signature.

By forcing lawmakers to vote on moving both measures an initial step forward together, Democratic leaders hope moderates will be forced to abandon their threat — at least for now — and join the rest of the party in pushing its economic and social agenda toward eventual passage.

In the face of solid Republican opposition, Democrats can lose no more than three defectors to pass legislation through the closely split House. Democrats are calling the House back from summer recess on Aug. 23.

It will be too late for the US economy as it enters the trash heap of progressive junk economic theories, but at least some payback when these so-called Rat “centrists” get wiped away im November 22.

Note the distinction of 'centrist Democrat' in the above, as they are only such when restraining SanFranNan from spending, UNTIL THEY GET THEIR STUFF! Otherwise and in other times, the term 'centrist Democrat' is a prime oxymoron, a non-existent hippogriff!

Take due note of the count of '9' here, if Nancy cannot split them with individual offers, she loses her majority vote. On the other hand, she could look for a suitable bribe for offsetting RINO votes to make in 'bipartisan'! (Excuse me while I wash my keyboard here!)

I wish Nancy failure in all her endeavors. (At least until she embraces traditional Catholic teaching)

Here’s a solution to the “cancel student debt” crowd that I, as a conservative, can support. Do not cancel student debt, but cancel interest rate payments on student loans as of January 1, 2017. Refund all interest paid by payers as of that date, and/or credit those amounts toward the loan amounts due.

Tag all future student loan interest rates to the Fannie May mortgage rates less 1/4%. Students should not have to go into a lifetime of debt for a college or trade school education.

There should also be another provision: student loans should not be available for non-career educational paths. For degrees chosen by students for which there are no real career opportunities, no government sponsored student loans should be allowed for professional students.

Her long life is NOT due to her wealth or intellect, rather a gift from God for the opportunity to repent.

All that moderates need to do to stop unconstitutional federal spending bills, not that alleged election-stealing, pirate Democrats are going to listen, is to point out that most of the spending that the bills authorize cannot be justified under Congress's constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers imo.

Patriots need to stop the unconstitutionally big federal government in its tracks by doing the following.

Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.

Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, but also an amendment to clean up the judiciary.
