Re the stimulus pricetag
Forgive me if this has already been said.
The republicans, of course, are complaining about the 1.9t pricetag, and doing it via reconciliation, and table a counter offer with a .6t pricetag, trying to make messaging that our survival bill costs too much
Our response has been to point out their tax cuts for the rich at a 2.0t pricetag, done via reconciliation.
Why not take it a step further. change the bill to repeal 1.3t of the tax cuts for the rich, making our bill a .6t pricetag same as theirs, and calling their bluff that they care one bit about the price tag?
