1. Excellent, Ma'am

This is one of those times when it is important to do it now, even if might not be quite right all down the line.

2. Obamacare was passed with parts lacking, but

it sure helped me out when I needed it. It had gotten better the older it got. As things do.

3. To quote 46. "Its a BFD"

[Mr.Bill]

4. Once you pass something that benefits so many people,

politically it's very hard to take it away. Republicans have wanted to take Medicare and Social Security away since the day they were passed, but can't do it.

5. Fantastic!

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. I thank the Senators who insisted

on MORE instead of letting republiqons squash it into a pittance. This will do so much good, and a win like this is such a welcome change from coddling and appeasing the asshole R's who won't vote for a bill anyway.

[calimary]

8. Indeed!

People need the help!

7. well shit, there will be a lot republican's crying in the whiskey barrel tonight !!

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. and I'll be distilling those tears

into my next martini!

[Mme. Defarge]

13. I'll drink to that! 🍸

There is something about a Martini,
A tingle remarkably pleasant;
A yellow, a mellow Martini;
I wish I had one at present.
There is something about a Martini,
Ere the dining and dancing begin,
And to tell you the truth,
It is not the vermouth--
I think that perhaps it's the gin.

9. Hold the fireworks--it merely passed Senate Budget Committee

The heavy lifting remains.

But this is an important and VERY promising step. Now we need 50 +1.

11. Has Manchin approved it?

[rpannier]

12. That was my thought

and What programs does he want cut to pay for it?
