18. Are the lies that this Hamsher character tell made out of ignorance or malice?
It's hard to tell sometimes.

51 is the "new 60" because we already got 60 on the Senate bill. Duh

Now if the House passes the Senate bill we can dust up some minor issues using reconcilliation. Reconcilliation is good for something like that, it would be a nighmare to put the whole bill through that process.

Is that very hard to understand?
