WHAT I SAY GOES!
The budget gambit DEMOCRATS are embracing to fast-track Skeletor’s $1.9 trillion "pandemic aid plan" will trigger billions of dollars in cuts to critical programs.
Top DEMOCRATS are already shrugging off the threat, a byproduct of using the reconciliation process. “I don’t know whether to be concerned or not,” House Budget Chair John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) said in an interview. “I’ve been told not to be concerned.”
Two other senior DEMOCRAT aides totally dismissed the threat and said worries about the cuts going into effect have not been raised as both the House and Senate pull together the particulars of Skeletor’s bill.
“This is not a concern,” said a senior DEMOCRAT aide.
DEMOCRATS are also considering the use of reconciliation twice this session — once to pass Skeletor’s "pandemic aid" plan, and again to push through a massive "climate and infrastructure package".
