Democrats have 51. If Manchin votes against, that's 50/50 with Kamala as the tie breaker.


Manchin is the tiebreaker, but he's a moderate democrat

Harris doesn't vote if it's not a tie

SS and Medicare make up 66% of our debt and don't contribute anything to our civilization.

The one thing China has over us is they tell people to shut the fuck up and stop complaining because welfare doesnt work.

no

“The 2020 elections decided control of both houses. In the House, the Democratic Party retained their majority. In the Senate, out of 100 seats, Republicans will hold 50, Democrats will hold 48, and Independents caucusing with the Democrats will hold 2.”

A Manchin vote against makes it 51/49. Only in a tie is Kamala the defacto 51 as tiebreaker

its moot anyway, Romney and Collins and Murakowski will do whatever Schumer demands of them

Um, I'm not too sure about that lol. I'm all for SS reform but Medicare is EXTREMELY beneficial to our elderly.

While China does tell its population to STFU, they have an immense amount of welfare.

Obama needed like 62 Senate votes to pass Obamacare.

The odds that Biden will pass anything of significance is almost 0.

I think we will see that there will be quite a few Republican senators voting FOR some stimulus package that contains the 3rd stimulus check.

I know they are almost all against the House tacking on any and everything, but actually want to pass the stimulus checks.
