Taxation? Sure. Regulation? Of course! Representation? Meh.Drop over there where this chart has rollover explanations. The reconciliation gambit has the virtue (?) of letting a congressman vote for X while delivering Y, and letting them deny having voted for Y, in hopes of getting re-elected.
It now becomes clearer the difference between a run-of-the-mill liberal Democrat, and a principled moderate is. The liberal will reflexively vote for any steaming pile of Marxist claptrap put in front of him. The principled moderate will huff and puff and denounce the proposal loudly and publicly until he is offered a bribe commensurate with his seniority.

When November comes around, I will remember. Even though some Senators voted against the worst abuses, none voted to censure the Senate leadership.
Where some members of the House of Representatives held against the insanity - none voted to impeach B. Hussein Obama, none voted to impeach Geitner, none voted to censure Pelosi.
I will remember than none, by staying "safe", acted to correct the abuses.
