Conservatives have every right to feel betrayed by the Republican Congress’ recent antics.
Freemarketeers, from the U.S. House to homes across America, were told in April to accept Senate Republican Leader John Thune’s emaciated Reconciliation 2.0 bill. The South Dakotan employed a limited-use budget procedure that obviates that pesky 60-vote filibuster threshold and permits passage via simple majority.

Trump and Republicans enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill in 2025 and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. Reconciliation was the needle through which Obama and Democrats injected the poison of Obamacare into America’s body politic in 2010.
