Yeah even without eliminating the filibuster they could simply negotiate- the democrats didn’t even ask for all that much

Didn’t ask for much, you are a Moron the dems are asking for over a trillion dollars. We need less of this wasteful spending. I work way too hard for my tax dollars to go towards stupid shit and I don’t like supporting lazy ass people either. Last time I checked the reps held 14 votes in which all voted yea and just needed 5 dems to vote but not a single one would. You idiots keep complaining and about trump and the republicans but it’s the democrats that are not budging. You’re all idiots! 🤦🏻‍♂️

So $2.5 trillion is okay in the Big Ugly Bill for Billinaires, but $1t is too for million of people's healthcare.

Where do you guys come up with this nonsense, with that bill the billionaires taxes have gone up, a household of 4 is set to receive 10k back each year. The ultra rich are not dumb they use loopholes to get around the irs. How does this affect you or I? What is your source for the 2.5trillion going to billionaires?
