The healthcare bill that they're trying to push through reconcilliation is the senate bill. In order to use recon, they first have to pass the Senate bill in the House. The Senate bill contains billions of dollars in new spending. By law, all spending must ORIGINATE in the house. How are they proceeding on this bill that originated in the Senate?
So the Nineteen (19) times Reconcilliation was used by the Repugs is all kinds of fine, well, right and good.
Nice double standard.
Not a double standard at all. As you well know.
Reconcilliation is a process used for budget matters and has specific rules that need to be followed. When Republicans use it to pass budget matters and follow the rules 19 times, there isnt an issue.
When Democrats try to use it to pass legislation and avoid all the rules of the reconcilliation process. We have a problem.
So either you are ignorant of what reconcilliation is, in which case, you now know and should stop pretending it's something it's not. Or you are actively deceiving people to justify your parties illegal behavior. Either way, the educated people of the nation wont stand for it unless they are just as corrupt. And we arent.

Reconciliation is a legislative process in the Senate commonly used to pass legislation concerning spending, revenues or the debt-limit.
Let's take a look at how those went down bill by bill & vote by vote:
Votes totals only go back to 1990 because the Senate web site's catalog of votes does not go back further.
