15. That is incredibly wrong or maybe you're just lying

Biden has his hands all over the $3.5 Trillion Bill, he and Bernie practically wrote it together. And Manchin has been briefed every step of the way. It's on the Floor of the Senate right now with amendments being voted on, it will pass tomorrow because the President, Bernie Sanders, and every one of the other 49 Democrats in the Senate support it.

What is it with this garbage of trying to divide the Dems? Pure lies to say Biden doesn't want it, he has championed it. And Manchin has been heavily involved too although I think he'll wring a few things out of it for the environment. And Bernie has championed it too as Biden's and as being "the most important piece of legislation since the Great Depression."

Where do you get you garbage from? This is the Biden's bill, it's supported by Bernie who just gave a great speech introducing it to the Senate which included giving full credit to President Biden for it.

They already voted yes on it Johnny2X2X Aug 2021 #49

The final bill absolutely can be slashed from what it is now, they only passed the budget Celerity Aug 2021 #51

Yes, there will be more negotiations Johnny2X2X Aug 2021 #53

The big hurdle is final passage, the rest is more or less window dressing. Yes, in theory even the Celerity Aug 2021 #57

That's incorrect in regards to the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, which is the subject of the OP Celerity Aug 2021 #56

Erm, as stated, all concern about what extreme right wingers think of Democrats is duly noted. lapucelle Aug 2021 #66

I never claimed that there was RW crowing in either the Yahoo or the Politico articles, you Celerity Aug 2021 #67

Was it in the deleted post? lapucelle Aug 2021 #76

It also now includes renewing the Hyde amendment, thanks to Joe Manchin. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #55

It's a non-binding amendment. George II Aug 2021 #60

Reauthorization of the Hyde Amendment has occurred every year for 40 years. lapucelle Aug 2021 #65

I know. It is a really handy bargaining chip for both sides -- as marginalized people often are. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #68

What makes it a "bargaining chip"? Who's doing the bargaining? N/T lapucelle Aug 2021 #71

It's a bargaining chip because it lets Republicans score points by ensuring federal funds don't pay WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #72

Joe Manchin didn't go along with this in order to get something passed. lapucelle Aug 2021 #74

He did it to signal that down the road, including Hyde in a spending bill he's said he WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #75

A possible signal concerning a hypothetical bill that might be introduced at some time in the future lapucelle Aug 2021 #79

yeah why do people do anything it's a mystery WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #80

It's a non-binding resolution. It is not going to ensure anything about federal funds. N/T lapucelle Aug 2021 #77

I mean we can keep saying this back and forth but I think I've made my point clear to anyone WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #78

the entire budget resolution (the basic framework that was just passed) is non-binding Celerity Aug 2021 #69

I know. If the entire resolution is nonbinding, it's poing is indicating where people want to go. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #70

I agree with Bernie AZProgressive Aug 2021 #73
