Wow! I had no idea how much I didn't know about this subject! I had to listen a few times to grasp everything. You presented 10 hours of information in 10 simple and straightforward minutes. Thank you!
We need this. Dictionaries say that civics involves not only the study of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship but also the study of how government works.
I found this interesting and worth it to listen to. However I had to keep backing up the video because the computer-generated voice was monotonous and I'd start tuning out.
Thank you, but I have a quibble about language at 0:45 - Even the "Transcript" misinterpreted what you said. "Budget reconciliation is a legislative process that allows Congress to pass certain budget related bills with a simple majority vote in the Senate 'by passing' the typical 60 vote threshold needed to overcome a filibuster." - "Bypass" in a discussion of 'passing' bills can be confusing to the listener, due to the similar, but different meaning of the words. The Senate is avoiding (bypassing) a requirement in order to pass a bill. The bypass (avoidance) is expected to be needed for passage of the bill. Thank you for the great explanation. .
Great information and presentation. I found the moving text, mostly sliding left and right, to be annoying. Please limit the use of this feature to perhaps one iteration. Cheers!
I think both house and senate must first pass a budget *resolution* which I suppose could be considered passing a budget. But passing a new budget could mean passing a budget *bill* which I think is more specific and potentially more binding than just a resolution.
Thanks for this explanation. Sent by Belle of the Ranch/ Beau of The Fifth Column...💞
Will probably need to watch this a second time - so complex and rife with possibilities for holdups or shenanigans
My friend Belle sent me. Thanks
Thanks, Team Ranch.

I enjoy this picture-book explainer learning the facts on budget reconciliation. Thought provoking & engaging...😉
I agree, Donald.
Thank you for this explanation. I don’t think I get it completely but enough to understand that the are going to use it.
Thanks, sent by Belle!

Thank you.
Thank you for explaining this so clearly.

Adding a comment so the algorithm doesn't filibuster this video.
Lol!!!

👍👍👍👍👍☕️
If the House doesn't pass a new budget, can they still do a budget reconciliation?

@JimHolder-pk2kk Thanks.
