Legislative process is legislative process without variation in initiatives. Doesn't matter if it is Tax Cuts or Healthcare. You assume because you think I'm a Democrat that I was against reconciliation in the past but that couldn't be further from the truth. I have no problem with reconciliation, I never even said I had a problem with the tax cuts, while they did result in a growing deficit I don't fault the cuts for the economic collapse. All I was asking is, if the process is so broken where was the gripe then when it was being used then?
