Byrd rule
mercredi 15 novembre 2017 à 01:00The SCROTUS tax attacks run afoul of the "Byrd rule" which requires 60 votes in the senate for a law that would cause a lasting increase in the spending deficit.
It is ironic that this rule was imposed by Republicans who like to use the deficit as a tool to cut spending programs that help non-rich Americans. Their concern about the deficit evaporates when it comes to helping rich people.
