One Big Beautiful Bill on Target for July 4

For the first 68 years of my life I paid my own medical insurance, yeah now I am on medicare I think I paid for it over 45 working years. I don't feel guilty one bit about cutting medical insurance from people who want it given to them.

 

The Parliamentarian singlehandedly turned the Big Beautiful bill into a Big Ba$tard Boondoggle blunder.

 

Except Medicare and Medicaid are not the same thing

 

It was not the Parliamentarian's fault that dumb Pub Senators don't know or understand the Senate rules. She did her job... they were too stupid to do their job.

 

That is a very uneducated (dumb) post as the CBO has NOT stated that the 11.8 million losing coverage are illegals, in fact 90% ARE NOT. Also wrong (intentionally?) fraud is not correlated to red/blue unless Fl. and TX have gone blue....they have high fraud and high numbers of cases. Only in ETG1's conspiracy fantasies do massive numbers of illegals vote, so the entire post was a joke. Be better.

 

Perfect, let them die in the streets. Or if seeing them bothers you, perhaps ship them off to camps so you don't have to look at them.

 

JD Vance is the president of the Senate, and his power is written into the law. The Parliamentarian's power is strictly an advisory role, and John Thune knows that fact. He knows better...

 

Always has been advisory and voluntary and the Senate Majority leader can also overrule the Parliamentarian.

 

Exhibit #2,346 in the last week of delusional right wingers not understanding civics.

 

Don't forget, we have to cut insurance to help pay for treatment too.

 

The parliamentarian isn’t the reason the bill is a big hulking mess, but just wanted to be clear that the idea the parliamentarian isn’t playing politics to some degree (and requiring silly changes to the bill) isn’t really right either.

The example 1(A) that I’ll point to is the idea that repealing the requirement to file a tax form and pay a $200 tax for making or transferring a short barreled rifle isn’t a permissible primarily budgetary provision, but changing the amount of the making and transfer tax to $0 is. The effect may ultimately be the same (Congress originally passed the law under its taxing powers, and I suspect you’ll ultimately get a legal challenge that requiring the submission of a tax form to “pay” a $0 tax isn’t a valid exercise of the taxing powers), but her rulings in that regard seem facially absurd.

 

Big whoop - most of us acquire our own our health ins or get it thru employment.

 

The BBB just passed the House Rules Committee.

 

The added funding of Medicaid for illegal aliens and SNAP for illegal aliens should not violate the Byrd rule. Those we two of the expenses the Parliamentarian added back into the House bill, back into the Senate version of the BBB. That funding is budgetary. Can be done in a reconciliation bill.

Republicans Revise SNAP Cut Axed By Parliamentarian

 

Do you even read what you cite?

“Boozman said the parliamentarian’s concern was simply that the bill text, as originally drafted, which would require states with error rates above 6% to share costs starting in 2028, didn’t give states enough time to calculate their match rates.​

“Their concern was the states didn’t have enough time to analyze the data so they can respond to it. So we’ve just come out of with a mechanism that they have a longer period,” Boozman told HuffPost on Tuesday.​

The updated proposal would allow states to base their error rates on either fiscal 2025 or 2026 data, Boozman’s office said.​
