Episode notes
Work Within Congressional Constraints
- Do accept that Congress often must use continuing resolutions and incremental changes when it lacks supermajorities.
- Do focus on line-item cuts rather than radical rewrites to achieve realistic spending reform now.
Trim Budget Line Items First
- Do prioritize small, achievable spending cuts that keep a continuing resolution status rather than attempting sweeping overhauls.
- Do recognize that too-large changes convert CRs into new bills that require broader majorities and will likely fail.
Don't Scrap The Filibuster Prematurely
- Avoid removing the Senate filibuster unless you have a concrete, passable law to justify it.
- Demand specific legislative outcomes before supporting major procedural changes like ending the filibuster.
