At least part of the standstill over Democrats’ $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill is still rooted in Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (D-AZ) refusal to up taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans, according to Insider.
That sort of dishonesty still is hard for me to compute. I see it and get it after a fashion but it makes no sense to me. My kind of honesty would never work in politics. My values aren’t for sale.
Sinema has reportedly told House Democrats this week that she won’t vote for the reconciliation bill until the bipartisan infrastructure bill she helped craft passes first.
Fuck her: roll the two bills into one and move to pass that legislation.
It was a plan B, might as well make it plan A.
