    Here Are The Big Policies In Democrats’ $3.5 Trillion Budget Reconciliation Plans

    Benefits For Parents

    Democrats intend to continue the new monthly benefits for parents that they launched as part of the American Rescue Plan. Nearly every family in America started receiving $300 per child under 6 and $250 per kid age 6-17 last month, but the benefits won’t continue past this year.

    Paid Leave

    Democratic lawmakers have found a way to get around the Senate’s budget rules and include a national paid leave proposal in their reconciliation package. Policy advocates and leading lawmakers have proposed essentially creating a new entitlement program giving most Americans the right to federally paid leave.

    No Debt Limit Hike

    Democrats are daring Republicans to vote against an increase in the debt limit, setting up a high-stakes game of chicken in the coming months that could lead to catastrophic economic consequences.

    Taxes

    Unlike the three major coronavirus relief bills Congress has passed, Democrats plan to offset the cost of the budget reconciliation package by raising taxes. They say they’ll target corporations and the wealthy without burdening families earning less than $400,000, which was a key campaign pledge from Biden.

    A chunk of revenue will come simply through increased IRS enforcement of current laws, since the government misses out on as much as $1 trillion annually due to taxpayer noncompliance. Presumably, much of the rest of the tax increases will come through reversals of the tax cuts Republicans enacted in 2017. But Democrats have said they’ll undo that law’s limit on federal deductions for state and local taxes, a provision that targeted wealthy households in blue states like New York and California.

    Medicare

    Reflecting one of Biden’s campaign promises and a rallying cry of Budget Committee Chair Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) presidential bid, Democrats are aiming to expand Medicare to include dental, vision and hearing care for the first time. They also want to slightly lower the eligibility age of Medicare, which is currently at 65.

    Immigration

    The Senate Judiciary Committee is tasked with providing “lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants” as part of the Democrats’ budget reconciliation package. The plan aims ​​to grant green cards to millions of immigrant workers and families, per an outline of the document. Congress has been unable to pass any kind of immigration reform measure on a bipartisan basis, so its inclusion in a reconciliation package is a big deal.

    Climate

    Democrats are planning on going big on investments to fight climate change in their reconciliation package, including billions for clean electricity, electric vehicles, energy efficient buildings, weatherizing homes, a Civilian Climate Corps and more. Progressives and environmental groups, who say even more needs to be done to address the alarming effects of climate change across the world, will be watching the details of the bill closely. A number of progressives in the House have vowed not to support the bipartisan infrastructure bill that is expected to be approved by the Senate this week if the reconciliation package falls short.

    “The Budget Resolution will allow the Senate to make the most significant investment in tackling the climate crisis in US history, and put America on a path to meet President Biden’s climate change goals of 80% clean electricity and 50% economy-wide carbon emissions reductions by 2030,” Senate Democrats pledged in their memo summarizing the coming legislation.

    So Biden has given in to the progressives...

    This is good news, I still think that Bernie or Elizabeth Warren would have made a better president, but this makes it a bit easier to accept Biden.

    Exactly! I voted for Bernie in the primaries both times he ran. He would have been a great president. Biden coming around to the progressives is a good thing.

    That can happen when you're a demented old fool that watches Fox News and the poll they cherry picked.

    It's funny how Trumptards suddenly care about polls.

    What’s really funny is you calling out people for not trashing Trump for his misgivings but say nothing about all the bumbling of the Biden administration.

    One of those people was a wannbe dictator, an existential threat to democracy and a petrologically lying conman who used the office for his own benefit whilst hundreds of thousands died in a pandemic he downplayed and lied about because it hurt his 'ratings'. The other is a flawed man doing the best he can missteps notwithstanding.

    Only a radicalized right-wing Trumptard would even see a comparison between the two.

    There is no comparison between the two. Your fat orange god was the most incompetent and dangerous president in American history. How many of Biden's cabinet have been charged with a crime?

    Which bit of "All Polls" are you struggling with?

    "All" or "Polls"?

    That part where anything that doesn't conform to his narrow-minded bigoted and hateful viewpoint dressed as 'Christianity' is automatically disregarded.

    Probably.

    I guess you missed the intent of my post as I was comparing you to conservative posters on this thread.
