First the judges and now this. I have heard of this position before but I thought it had to deal with the rules of how a bill passes a vote. Now it appears the Democrats have found another way for unelected people to exercise power and thwart plans of those that were elected. Just more back alley, power at all costs move by a party out of control. Since when can this position unilaterally decide what can and cannot go into a piece of legislation?

The BBB hasn't been "killed" (I like the clickbait thread title though). I believe this is part of the "does this pass the Byrd test and belong in a Reconcilliation Bill" process, and was expected to some extent. Many knew there were a few "grey" items that may not past muster but they went for it anyway (gotta try, right?).
The good news is that the Short Act (SBS) and the Hearing Protection Act (suppressors) appear to have passed the test.

Imagine if the so called politicians that get elected really try and stop acting like children in the school playground 
Imagine is your elected officials were not pay operatives for other governments.

The article says the parliamentarian said it wouldn’t pass but then also said it violated rules. Kind of saving money violates rules unless they are trying to pass laws in a spending bill. Oh wait NYS does that all the time.
Republicans feel they can reword the bill and get it passed. Medicaid is a hot button topic and it sure they can shove it through.

Will they tell Hochul the same? I know it’s different because state and federal but NYS passes laws with budgets all the time.
This is my shocked face

The government convinced everyone to support this pile of shit and then snatch the bait away. Your government hates you.

Other than my dads cigarettes, I've never heard of this Parliamentary shit before today.
I hope the bill fails.
Single issue bills, period. For both parties. It should be a law or rule.
the Parliamentarians did the same thing to Biden...................rulz is rulez.
Budget reconciliation cannot have policy changes...........that requires 60 votes to accomplish.
Silencers not banned.........same as before............

This is a tax issue, ruled on by SCOTUS as so, how is it not a budget item?

If they make it a "$0 tax" now, the next Democrat in charge is just going to make it a $20,000 tax, or your stamp will have to be renewed annually or some shit.

Musk is acting like a petulant child. This will only help the Democrats. Which guarantees his professed concern (the debt) will get worse.

The country is fucked anyway, and I have hoped for a new non-uniparty for a long time. If it is conservative, I'll probably support it.
When all in America put away the notion that our political system is a multi party rule, their lives will in fact, be better
3rd parties in Modern America have always failed to get the traction to compete against the two dominant parties. That is why the Socialist and MAGA have taken over the dominate parties. Otherwise they cannot compete against the behemoths.
