Basically it seems like a way to go around the other party so to speak.

But since it is legal and seems like it would be an option to actually get something moving….

Do you agree with it?

Will it work?

What/How does it work it exactly?

My understanding is it seems you can only use this if it in regards to bringing us out of debt. ” budget resolution directing one or more committees to submit legislation changing existing law in order to bring spending, revenues, or the debt-limit into conformity with the budget resolution”

If you do not agree with it then tell me. I am not looking for a figure to point but rather can you give me logical,and reasonable explanation to why?(When I say this Im completely fine with you disagreeing just want to know why)

Also if you see a problem with it what can be done to come to a middle ground, compromise, or even better ideal(s)?
