The Paul Ryan budget deal that he cut with far left progressive liberal Democrats allows Harry Reid and the Senate to raise taxes with a simply majority vote (51 votes.) The provision voids the ‘point of order’ rule. Basically, Harry Reid and the Democrats can raise taxes whenever they choose. It’s like the nuclear option on judicial nominations, except this time it’s on taxes and a gift from Paul Ryan and the RINO caucus in the House. Man was I fooled by Paul Ryan. Turns out Mitt Romney is more of a conservative than the Wisconsin RINO fraud Paul Ryan.
Senate Republicans scrubbing the Ryan-Murray budget deal have come across a little-noticed provision that will limit the GOP’s ability to block tax increases in future years.
The bill includes language from the Senate Democrats’ budget that voids senators’ ability to raise a budget “point of order” against replacing the sequester cuts with tax increases.
The process is quite complicated, but in practice it grants Harry Reid the authority to send tax increases to the House with a bare majority, rather than the 60-vote threshold that would be required under a point of order.
