    Well a rescission package can only be used to cut spending, so it couldn’t have been used by the Democrats to pass new spending.

    What do you think they should have used it to cut?

      The military, the police, the prisons, ICE, TSA, DHS, CIA, NSA… any number of oppressive organizations that exist to protect the exalted status of capital.

        I’m with you there but you could not have got even a simple majority of elected representatives to agree to that. It would have to be something that Democrats broadly support.

            I thought you were saying they were ineffective at enacting their agenda because they didn’t use rescission packages.

            If we’re talking about what you just said I have no quarrel.
