[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 693964, member: 22662"] Why? Because history dictates that reconciliation has morphed into something that it was never intened to be and both parties have and will continue to take advantage of it. Simply stating what reconciliation was at it's inception does not bring us to what it is today. It has become a way to get things done that the majority cannot get 60 votes for. Personally, I would tell Democrats to get the biggest, baddest, all-encompassing bill they can that starts on day one and the dare the Republicans to repeal it the way they never repealed social security. But in all honesty I expect the democrats to prove themselve yet again to be a bunch of raging pansies. I do think the republicans are afraid of that scenario though. Seemed like at the summit they were almost begging Obama to take reconciliation off the table. [/QUOTE]
