The Spending Bill Revisions
The Democrats are having hard decisions in making some revisions about the Spending Bill Plan to assure the political moderates in the senate. The $1.7 trillion funding for the Build Back Better Act with 220-213 vote are controlled by the Democrats with one crossing party lines to vote with Republicans against the measure.
Moreover, Rep. Ro Khanna stated during the interview at MSNBC‘s The Sunday Show. “The Build Back Better Act as passed by the House is not going to be the same when it comes back to the House after the Senate gets its hands on it,” The legislation will pass the Senate with modifications, as for the California Democrats “it’s going to be 90 percent of the version passed by the House, with about 10 percent removed.”
Furthermore, the bill will be sent back to the House for its final votes and several provision for the Senate’s consideration.
Major Priorities of the Spending Bill
The Provisions that won’t be removed as the legislation includes the $555 billion for funding the climate initiatives (the largest effort on the worsening issue in U.S. history), child care funding, university pre-K, and extending the American families of health care subsidies.
In addition Michigan Democrat said on MSNBC’s The Sunday Show “lowering costs for families, and we’re going to make sure we’re tackling the climate crisis in a way that’s going to create jobs,” The legislation now heads to the 50-50 split in the Senate through reconciliation where the Democrats still have to navigate major challenges with no room for error.
