      The finding by Elizabeth MacDonough, the chamber’s nonpartisan arbiter of its rules, comes as Democrats prepare for House approval Friday of an initial version of the $1.9 trillion package that still includes the minimum wage boost.http://apne.ws/PLghD8a

          I'm all for a fair minimum wage, but it shouldn't be tagged onto a Covid relief bill...it should stand on its own. Enough with sneaking shit onto bills.

          It didn't get "snuk" onto the bill everybody knew it would be there before the bill was released...

          Parliamentarians are appointed by each house - they are nonpartisan "referees" of each house's rules.

          Just fire her. That’s what the GOP did back during W. Bush and NO. ONE. CARED.

          $7.25 an hour. Dems are weak and will lose it all in elections next year. There is no justification for this ruling! Trumps entire $2 trillion per year tax break for the rich had nothing in it that bothered the parliamentarian? It flew through using reconciliation.

          The justification is the effect on Social Security: while a minimum wage increase does increase income and Social Security taxes collected, it also increases the income by which future benefits are paid. Low-income voters should remember it was REPUBLICANS who kept them poor!

          There is always a remedy under Robert’s Rules. I’d like to know the details of this situation.
