Will Americans object to reconciliation?

Of course, Democrats made these deals because they tried gather enough votes to
achieve a filibuster-proof 60 in the Senate. Now that Reid has only
58 Democratic colleagues, he is prepared to
pursue a reconciliation process and remove some of those unpopular deals.

Assuming Republican arguments are correct — that the American public revolted at
the plodding and confusing process of health reform — it seems unlikely they will
object to the new developments because they take exception to the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974. If the public suddenly finds its inner parliamentarian and disapproves
of Democrats’ use of budget reconciliation, it will go up against both the frequent
past
history of reconciliation and health reform and the Republican
use of reconciliation.
