spacemang_spliff posted:whoa holy poo poo lmao ~*well actually*~, its supposed to just be a formality. Congress has done similar budget sleight-of-hand to get around PAYGO and Republicans have voted to not let the cuts to Medicare and farm workers go through before. I'm sure the GOP will continue to faithfully serve the American people. Its not like they'd ever use this position as leverage to extract further concessions from Democrats.

Raskolnikov38 posted:why did liberals glob onto progressive anyway, the original progressive movement was largely Republican Oh I've been mad about this for a while now, for the past 20 years, we've gone from Democrat to Liberal to "Progressive" to "Leftist" and it's all meaningless toothless poo poo that doesn't actually stand for anything but voting for a warmongering austerity rapist when the push comes to shove. Utterly pathetic and worthless.

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/13/biden-cuts-medicare-farm-aid-468895 holy gently caress this article quote:The budget gambit Democrats are embracing to fast-track President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion pandemic aid plan will trigger billions of dollars in cuts to critical programs. quote:The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, Title I of Pub.L. 111–139 (text) (pdf), H.J.Res. 45 is a public law passed by the 111th United States Congress and signed by US President Barack Obama on February 12, 2010. The act reinstated pay-as-you-go budgeting rules used in Congress from 1990 until 2002, ensuring that most new spending is offset by spending cuts or added revenue elsewhere (with several major policy exemptions). gotta love our democrats

Look, the important thing about the impeachment trial was the symbolic nature of it. Democrats made it clear that we cannot tolerate sedition and treason from our highest elected officials. This is a clear message that will resonate for generations. Anyway, Forcing a Vote on M4A would be a purely symbolic vote and therefore a waste of time. Way more important that we pass the $1000+$600 = $2000 stimulus bill...after we come back from our week-long vacay, whew that symbolic impeachment trial took a lot out of us.
