Maybe they can attach bills like this to ones that have something that the r's want??

Tax breaks for the rich worked out so well last time. Has America completely forgotten 2008 when the "voodoo economics" sent us careening toward another great depression? The consequences for their greed based economic decisions haven't changed.

(4,546 posts)but she (and the House Democrats) did it anyway. This is smart. It shows voters that Democrats will work to FIX this mess. It's something every Democrat running in 2020 can campaign on, and it's not a pie in the sky promise, it's concrete, real, actual legislation. I love it! It's a win-win for us.
