During the administration of President George W. Bush, Congress used reconciliation to enact three major tax cuts, each of which substantially increased the deficit.[4]
Thanks for pointing out that Republicans have only used "Budget reconciliation" for budget matters.
It's good to have independent confiration of the point I was making.
BTW, since you brought up the subject... what is the current Democrat excuse for using "Budget reconciliation" on a huge, non-budget matter that will cause the government to nationalize 1/6 of the nation's economy?
health care is a privelage, not a right.
Republicans think Health Care is a privelage,
BTW, we've successfully been diverted from the subject of the thread. My apologies for being taken in by this common leftist tactic.
Back to the subject:
It's striking to notice the similarity.
How many groups would like to impose agendas, and/or governmental forms, on the United States that the American people don't want, by force if necessary, and are spending lots of time trying to figure out if they have enough "force at hand" to do it? While all the while pretending that they are doing something that no one could possibly object to?
A. Democrats in Congress and the White House pushing their socialized Health Care takeover, while pretending that a majority of Americans want it and that it will somehow "improve" our Health Care system;
B. Mahmoud Amahdenijad pushing Iran's agenda to develop nuclear weapons to use on Israel and anyone who has backed her, while stressing all the while that the nuclear research and uranium enrichment are for peaceful purposes only;
C. Militant Islamic terrorists trying to kill as many "infidels" as possible, in and out of the U.S., while trying to pretend that they are doing it only because the U.S. has been so bad to them?
D. All of the above.
Tell us how you really feel?

Shall we bring back slavery?Health Care should be a fundamental right
Just not the "reforms" being pushed by Democrats.The American people want Health care reform
Shall we bring back slavery?
To claim HC is a "right", is to claim that you have a "right" to the labor of another individual.
Just not the "reforms" being pushed by Democrats.

Translation: You can't refute my point, that fanatic leftist Democrats are working overtime to push through an agenda that harms the U.S., is unwanted by most Americans, and they are doing it by citing a host of lies and deception to fool the people into not calling their Congressmen about it.
Too bad it's not working. The leftist fanatic have blown it, for the second time in sixteen years. Socialistic health care "reform" is dead, dead, dead.
