Manchin and Sinema will work to take many of the nice things out of the bill, Roisin Ni Fiachra Aug 2021 #48

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

Manchin voted for a Republican amendment to the bill to keep Hyde, and once again poor people WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #54

All concern about what extreme right wingers at Just the News might think of Democrats lapucelle Aug 2021 #63

erm, I used that to show what the RWers think of it, I CLEARLY stated that in my post, and that Celerity Aug 2021 #64

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

I know. They're indicators of what's expendable when the hard work begins on this package. For at WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2021 #61

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
