good job bernie, but it probably means he’s safely passing and they don't need his vote

this is how vox readership is taking the $15/parlimentarian news, completely cucked mindset jesus christ

quote:

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think the (mostly online) consternation about the parliamentarian's decision re: $15 min. wage really misses the mark.

(I generally support minimum wage increase. This is not a post about the wisdom or lack thereof for increasing to $15. Don't yell at me, plz/thx.)

Isn't it a good thing for a nonpartisan person (in this case, a highly respected 22-year veteran of Office of the Senate Parliamentarian who was appointed by Harry Reid) to provide guidance on whether XYZ provision is sufficiently related to federal budget spend and budget revenue?

The alternative seems really bad, and is actually the entire premise of the Byrd Rule (which requires that provisions in budget reconciliation be, among other things, more than merely incidental to the federal budget and not be primarily motivated by an unrelated policy purpose).

For example, it would be v. bad if in 2024 the senate is still 50/50 split with a republican president and suddenly republicans tried to put abortion stuff in budget reconciliation, right? It would be v. bad if the parliamentarian got fired for saying, "Nah, this is not sufficiently related to the federal budget." It would be v. bad if VP Nikki Haley overruled the parliamentarian.

Here, the nonpartisan Senate Parliamentarian--again, broadly respected and appointed by a democrat--concluded that the $15 minimum wage is not sufficiently related to federal budget spend or federal budget revenue. And that's OK! She shouldn't get fired for coming to that conclusion like Rep. Omar (god love her) has suggested! That isn't how stable democracy works, right?!

If Dems want to pass a $15 minimum wage--and they should!--the most appropriate way to do so is through the normal legislative process.

quote:

It’s like being angry at a referee for a good call... if folks don’t like the rules, they can change them without nixing the whole purpose of the Parliamentarian...but they don’t have the votes for either so folks just direct anger at whoever the most recent messenger is on whatever bad news we are hearing now.

That's about the same percentage that were able to keep their doctor after ACA became law, but they're sure that people will be understanding this time!

trump/republicans gave out $600/week unemployment boost and $1,800 in cash

biden/dems are giving out $300/week boost and $1,400 cash (to fewer adults....... it is good this new bill will allegedly include dependents)

it's useful as a test case I guess but I am not hopeful

me neither and i think the whole FTV/M4A thing was a tempest in a teapot


if this doesn't have much/any impact, i don't see why an M4A vote would have
