Republicans Have Used Reconciliation More

By GottaLaff

The Rushpublics are having trouble reconciling this fact:

Politifact: "We find that there have been 22 reconciliation votes, 14 of them by a Republican-controlled Congress, and that it makes more sense -- in light of the debate over making an end-run around the 60-vote threshold -- to focus on the reconciliation bills that passed without a supermajority. But even then, Republicans have reached for reconciliation bills more often than Democrats since 1981."
Damn facts, always getting in the way.
