To answer your question, of course the democrats would pass multiple bills if they overturn the filibuster rule.  And then after the midterms, the republicans would probably have a majority and they would overturn all those bills.  And back and forth we would go.  Tax cuts.  Tax cuts repealed.  Tax increase.  Tax increase repealed.  Back and forth.  Back and forth.

Which is the point Sinema, Manchin, and Republicans are making. Unfortunately, like almost every other issue, dems are trying to make it about race than logic.

But enough bigoted rationalizations from you, Bull Connor.
