Again, I ask the same question I asked in the last government shutdown thread: Can't appropriations bills be passed via reconciliation? In which case, why would they need 60 votes to avert a shutdown? Can't the Republicans pass them on their own?
Heheh. You've asked the same question 3 times now, and no one has responded. Might it have something to do with the fact that reconciliation can only be used once, so if they use it for health care, they can't use it for the budget.
Why would they use it for healthcare? Is there even rumour of this?
