Harris breaks 50-50 deadlock to advance landmark climate, tax, health bill

Let’s do the math. 30 trillion debt and saving 110 billion. What percentage is that?

Lol.

Plus it’s most unlikely it will save squat over ten years.
So if it doesn't wipe out the entire debt in one swell foop it shouldn't be done?

If the legitimate president was in office China would be paying down the debt in the trillions for unleashing Covid on the US and the world.

The Senate voted along party lines Saturday afternoon to advance a sweeping bill to reform the tax code, tackle climate change and lower the cost of prescription drugs, taking a big step closer to giving President Biden a major victory before the November midterm elections.
The Senate voted 51 to 50 to proceed to the 755-page bill, after Vice President Kamala Harris arrived at the Capitol to cast the tie-breaking vote.
The vote puts the bill on a trajectory to pass the Senate sometime Sunday, barring an unexpected setback, such as the sudden absence of a Democratic senator.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) hailed the bill’s impending passage as a major achievement.
“The time has come for the Senate to begin debate on this historic piece of legislation. The Inflation Reduction Act is a groundbreaking bill for the American people, for families struggling to pay the bills, for seniors struggling to pay for medication, for kids struggling with asthma,” Schumer said on the floor moments before the vote.
“This is one of the most comprehensive and impactful bills Congress has seen in decades,” he declared promising it would reduce inflation, lower drug costs, fight climate change and close tax loopholes.

The procedural vote sets up 20 hours of debate to be divided evenly between Democrats and Republicans followed by an open-ended series of amendment votes, known as a vote-a-rama.
Behold, the end of the republic.
