Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that negotiations on a massive social spending and climate package remain active despite the opposition from Senate centrists that stopped the legislation in its tracks last year.
The Speaker emphasized that House Democrats, who passed a roughly $2 trillion reconciliation package in November, are essentially sidelined as Senate leaders seek to continue the delicate talks with the centrist hold-outs.
But a day after meeting with President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) at the White House to discuss the economy, Pelosi said there’s still a chance of enacting some slimmed-down version of the House legislation this year.
“Reconciliation is a Senate matter. We passed our bill, we made our views known. And that is a closely-held negotiation on the Senate side,” Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol.
“Suffice to say that we expressed our interest in the timing, when it would happen. But we did not get into the details.”

Brain Dead !!
Translation: when the economy crashes after the rate hikes, they will repackage this as a fiscal stimulus bill.

The GOP leads will try to twist arms.
They support everything Biden with the exception of one piece of legislation

For anyone with a perverse worry that the economy won’t crater hard enough to hurt the Democrats, I wouldn’t be concerned. This is going to get really ugly. Every “solution” that they have will make it worse. Let’s pray they are stopped.
She’s afraid of stating the obvious.
It’s deader than the dinosaurs and the do-do bird.

It’s all in the name. If they’d just name the bill “Drive a stake through the economy’s heart before they toss us out” bill everybody would know what it means.
There! Fixed it.
Also, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Insights welcome.
And let’s pray there is a way. I don’t see it now.
They do not care about Americans, just do not care.

True - and it’s kind of clear why they have no respect for their base, they Vote against them for four years, and then run an AD four weeks before the Election holding a gun, and they’re reflected by a comfortable margin.
Rinse and repeat.

Maybe driving inflation up to 20% is her strategy for dealing with the budget deficit.
She’s trying to convince Democrat voters to hang with them. It’s coming. We promise. :)
Another 1.5 to 3 tril dollars being flushed if this idiotic POS passes and is enacted.
Think inflation is bad now, yeah.....
Its already starting to affect the Dem base...violent/stupid crime is increasing every single day
It’s the vile, demonic Botoxian....wouldn’t expect anything less from this godless demon.
