Every dollar wasted on this garbage cuts the amount of money that can be jammed into the reconciliation budget the dems are working on. That budget is subject to Paygo provisions that require a 60 vote margin to ratify increasing the debt. Democrats have stated that they plan to ignore this so it's pretty certain they will try to embarras the Republicans into ratifying the increase in the debt. Mitch and the Repubs though may hold the dems feet to the fire for a campaign issue. If they don't get the 60 vote margin to allow debt increase automatic cuts in all expenditures, including medicare, social security, veterans benefits etc kick in. This is exactly the sort of games that the turdle is good at, and Bernie et al suck at.
