Reconciliation

The reconciliation process, informally called the Nuclear Option, is a strategy generally used by the Senate only to pass contentious budget bills; the reconciliation process allows a bill to be passed with a 51-vote simple majority rather than the typical 60-vote supermajority.

One would think that, with a 60-vote majority in the Senate, the Democrats could pass any bill that satisfied their constituents without having to resort to using the Nuclear Option.

The fact that the Democrats are contemplating using the Nuclear Option to gain passage of Obamacare in the Senate should communicate to anyone who is paying attention that the Democrats’ health care plan is not something the country wants.

Obamacare is Socialism, pure and simple. The country does not want it. Mainstream media outlets are betraying this country by not giving this issue more press.
