Ryan Deal Includes Procedural Gift to Harry Reid

 Permitting Him to Raise Taxes on a Simple Majority Vote, Rather than Requiring 60 Votes

source: Ace of Spades blog

quote from National Review:
A House aide says Reid can send tax bills to the House all he wants, since they will never fly in the lower chamber. “House Republicans would never approve a tax increase,” he says.

Yeah, that may be true today since the GOP controls the House, but what if they lose control and the Senate minority could have blocked tax increases?  This is a giveaway.  Why do it?  Are these people nuts?
