    The more I think about this, the more I think we actually came out ahead. 1% on all buybacks has to be more than what fund managers make on going from 15% to 37%, right?
    Raises $73 billion vs $14 billion. We came out way ahead. Sinema was an easy get here. Way easier than Manchin. Have to give her credit for that.

    Edit: Now, it all comes down to the Senate Parliamentarian.

      Didn't Mitch ignore the Senate Parliamentarian when he wanted to get what he wanted?

      One easy way of getting rid of the filibuster. Don't even officially get rid of it, just ignore the rule. It's not a law, it's a convention which only we observe anyway.

        I dont think the Parliamentarian will block it, but if she does do it anyways. Not one voter cares and if that is the best the Cons have to hit us with then the Red Wave is screwed.

        • This video highlights what the Republicans plans are for Social Security. An insurance plan I will sorely need in the next 20 years. It used to be that NO ONE COULD EVER get elected with these plans for such an important program in the United States. Again, an insurance program and the most successful anti-poverty program ever passed.

            It doesn’t come down to the Senate Parliamentarian for how I’d vote on the measure, even if she struck it all down. I’d vote to abolish the filibuster and to ignore her recommendations. Krysten Sinema will listen to her though, thus the Parliamentarian ruling being important.

              Haven't you said repeatedly we would all be dead in 20 years? I can't imagine anyone voting for someone who comes right out and says they want to get rid of SS. Then again.............. people listen and believe Alex

                I don't think I put a number on it. If I did it was a guess. If I am still alive I will need it. As for people listening, I did listen when they said Roe vs. Wade was going to be eliminated. Not many did.

                    That sucks, but she allowed everything else at least.

                      Right on. Looks like between 10-40 billion will be stripped out due to that not passing the Byrd Bath. Either way, still a big win, assuming it gets passed.

                        If Sinema or Manchin renege they might get assassinated...

                                Multiple Republican senators have now complained on Twitter about having to show up to work to delay a bill that will lower prescription drug costs and protect the planet.
