Heard an hour ago on Sirius Radio: PO is in the reconciliation bill but we are not supposed
to talk about it?

Host of the show "Keeping It Real" (I think?) said that he has background information...etc. he was asked not to talk about it...

Anyone else heard this?

1. He wasn't supposed to talk about it... so he's talking about it??
And it's in the bill but no one will notice? What, it's written in invisible ink and will only become apparent after the President signs? Are you sure the show's not called "Keeping it Surreal?"

3. Lol...Not invisible ink: he said that the plan is to include it in the final version, he said
People like him and others who might know this is going to happen are telling them not to say anything yet....etc.

I think his name is Mark on Sirius Left radio 146.

12. He said Pelosi was working with a 2-5 votes margin, she was looking into this: If she puts in the PO
would she lose 4 or 5 or none...etc. I guess discussions are still going on right now and she is dealing with a handful of potential votes for or against?

I am sure someone else saw the same thing?

13. I Sanders is talking about it then I think it is being considered.
However, Pelosi may simply not have the votes.

15. That is a shell bill that will be replaced by the Senate Bill and Reconciliation Bill.
That was the old House Conference Bills PLUS the School Loan program which will be included.

It is procedural gobbledygook necessary for the Reconciliation Process.
