We are going to have to eat this shit sandwich, question is do you want it to have a cherry on top or not.

This needs to be screamed from the rooftops. There is no stopping this bill. Might as well bandaid one of our thousand papercuts to prevent death.

Or how about we hound our senators and reps for a better bill AND eliminating this dumbass fee

It only passed by one vote in the house. I doubt that the Senate will pass it.

I'm willing to bet the "this bill is getting passed no matter what" weirdos have not called their reps but will stay in the mentality that nothing can be done. Weak.

FWIW, I’m one of those morons who continually email my senators and representatives even though they agree with me on only one subject.
Their aides are probably sick of me by now

And you think that it’s a magical coincidence that it passed by a vote in the house?
The GOP is not moronic, they get how the game works. They need X number of votes and they will get X number of votes. The rest of the representatives can save face in their purple or libertarian districts by voting no.
The GOP needs this bill to pass the senate, so it will pass the senate. Republicans aren’t out to tank their own political careers and undermine the party platform over a dumb budget bill that we pass every year.

As I understand it, and I can be wrong or they can ignore the law, this being a reconciliation bill means that in order to be passed with fewer than usual votes it has to be completely unchanged between house and senate. The senate has changed a bunch of shit, so even if they pass it it has to go back to the house to be voted on again. If the house changes anything then the senate has to vote on it again.
Or they could just say fuck the rules and pass it on to the demented orange.

Yeah you hit the nail right on the head man
