    Even if you support the terrible idea of "full refundability," I don't understand how the current reconciliation bill can prevent a future Congress from repealing it. How do you "make permanent" and "lock in" a law, blocking future democratic action (apart from the Constitution)?https://twitter.com/ParrottCBPP/status/1434560633287155723 …

    What we can’t afford is to leave the fate of this provision in the hands of a future Congress.

        Replying to @kausmickey

        Either she thinks Congress has powers that don’t exist, or she’s referring to the practical matter that repealing such a benefit is difficult when it becomes seen as expected and when repeal, not passage, requires 60 Senate votes.

        Replying to @JanetheActuary

        Yes, she must be thinking of the filibuster, and how the need to get 60 votes functions as a ratchet favoring status quo. But if they still have to get funding through the Senate (because it expires) it seems like the refundability will be part of the mix they'll negotiate, no?

        You declare the tax credit law a "super-precedent"- it's worked so far for Roe, right? Arlen Specter's legacy to the USA, FFS.
