This is a poison pill, right?

A poison pill.... This is a reconciliation bill in both chambers hoss....The democrats can take their poison and vote the bill right on through.

Although I will say this....I said it when this started and I'll say it again. I'm not sure how that big of a minimum wage increase makes it in a reconciliation bill in the Senate due to the Byrd rule. I'm guessing Bern will come up with some fuzzy math and fuzzy rules to keep it in, but in my mind I think someone will cause a stink over it in the Senate and cause a major delay on the bill. Then we will see just exactly how important it is to Schumer and Biden to pass COVID relief quickly.
