The Framework That’s Not Really a Framework

Punchbowl News says what Democrats have called a framework for taxes in the budget reconciliation bill isn’t much more than a list of options.

“The main story here, as far as we can tell, is that Democrats are now trying to change the conversation from ‘The party is a mess’ to ‘We’re making progress.'”

“We know nothing about this framework — and it doesn’t seem like anyone else does either. We just know that Democrats say they have come to a decision on a group of pay fors — which essentially means that they haven’t decided on what pays that they want to use.”
