Senate PASSES Biden-backed $740billion reconciliation bill with no Republican support after Kamala casts tie-breaking vote: GOP Sen. Rick Scott says deal is a 'war on seniors' and Democrat Sen. Chris Coons admits it may take a YEAR to ease inflation

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

The bill passed on a party-line vote with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the 50-50 tie

It passed with an amendment by GOP Senator John Thune to exempt some companies from its 15 percent corporate minimum tax

Senate Dems erupted in cheers and applause after the 16-hour voting session

Democrats were hopeful for a win ahead of November's midterm elections

The bill contains funding to beef up IRS enforcement, expand green energy production, and lower the cost of healthcare

Republicans successfully forced Democrats to strip a provision that would have capped the price of insulin at $35

President Biden celebrated, stating that 'today, Senate Democrats sided with American families over special interests,' and urged the House to pass the bill

Democrat Senator Chris Coons admitted the bill could take 'a year or more' to bring down the inflation rate, which hit 9.1 percent in June

#3 It’ll take veto-proof Republican majorities in both Houses to get this reversed, Besoeker.

#6 It’ll take veto-proof Republican majorities in both Houses

If you get that, just repeal the income tax amendment and substitute a value added tax. I'm sure enough of the states out there would be more than happy to ratchet the central government down.

#7 How bout no federal tax at all? A flat "National Security" levy and let each state pay for their congressional delegation.
