You will never see a Reconciliation Bill
If the house goes first on the Senate Bill you will never, as long as you live, see a Reconciliation bill that addresses its shortcomings pass. I do not care what promises are made by who, it will not happen. Bet on it.
It is the height of absurdity to first pass a flawed bill promising to fix it soon thereafter. Pass a good bill first, and there is no need for that mythical soon thereafter.

1. 1 problem...
Both house and Senate must pass a bill. The House moves more quickly than the Senate.
Why play a waiting game?

3. Passing good legislation rather than bad is not playing a waiting game.
And maybe thats the real problem, this is all just a big game to the politicians.

2. I doubt it too
Even if they promise publicly to do a fix of some sort in reconciliation there will be those few who will find some reason that they can't back it when it comes down to a vote.

5. Bill Clinton was going to fix NAFTA.
That was fifteen years ago.

I saw a headline on Drudge where Pelosi says that she now has the votes. Don't know if it's true, or if it's actually a bluff.

The GOP will have a Point of Order for every single provision that comes up I hope.

Pelosi doesn't have the votes ~ I think she just likes to scare people, which isn't hard with her face. I saw a comment on another board that said her face looks like a scrotum stretched over a doorknob. Yes, there is some resemblance to that.
:rotf:
Seriously, is there anything more pitiful than these democrats and what they are trying to do right now? China is laughing their asses off at us right now.

I'd take it as a bluff-she's been bluffing about having this in the bag for months now, they all acted like it was a done deal before Christmas.
