    Default Senate opens debate on Biden-backed Inflation Reduction Act

    Senate Democrats voted Saturday to begin debate on a sprawling bill that aims to lower health-care costs, combat climate change and reduce the federal budget deficit, a critical step in a grueling journey to deliver on President Biden’s long-stalled economic agenda.

    The vote, which drew unanimous Republican opposition, came seven months after internal bickering scuttled Democratic efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower prescription drug costs — key parts of a larger package party leaders regard as essential for retaining control of the House and Senate in this fall’s midterm elections.

    Good job Democrats, for finally pulling it together. Fuck you, Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin. Can't wait to kick you assholes to the curb.

    LOL. Without them you have no "majority"... If you "kick them to the curb" you will find that they will simply be replaced by Rs and the results will be much more predictable.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Not if the Dems increase their numbers in the Senate to the point we don't need them. That's our plan.
