Republicans faced a similar problem in 2017 when they used reconciliation to pass a deficit-raising tax cut. But Democrats helped them stop some $25 billion in automatic Medicare cuts. Now, some wonder: Would the GOP do the same? https://t.co/j7lSvOoli3 — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Democrats are confronting a dilemma with using reconciliation to pass Covid relief —> statutory PAYGO. It'd trigger automatic cuts to Medicare which experts say needs 60 Senate votes to stop. @BernieSanders' office tells me he'll fight to avert it. https://t.co/j7lSvOoli3 — PolitiTweet.org

tl;dr —> The 2010 PAYGO law enacted by Democrats forces automatic cuts to Medicare and other safety-net programs if new policies raise the debt. Congress can stop the cuts (and often does). But that probably can't be done in reconciliation. Needs 60 votes. https://t.co/j7lSvOoli3 — PolitiTweet.org
