Reconciliation-based Public Policy

By Jordan David Weisinger

This books is working draft of a large number of reconciliation polices. It lays out the mechanics of laws without the context, with a heavy emphasis on enforcing statistical performance measures (median or average) with fees and penalties so they can be passed by simple majorities through the budgetary process.

A few years after the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act passed, the Senate pursued silent filibuster reforms that have resulted in a near complete obstruction of the legislative process. The VRA and CRA were supposed to deliver on the promised of Universal Suffrage but the filibuster has prevented the United States from acquiring a viable high-quality democracy. Before the 1970s, there were just two near defaults, and since then there have been 21 threats of debt default and government shutdowns. Peace is only sustainable with a working legislative process and the filibuster makes this impossible. If filibuster reform isn't achieved soon, the only alternative is using the budget reconciliation process to pass laws with simple majorities. Reconciliation-based laws must be premised on financial penalties, fines, and taxes but when applied through performance measures based on a median threshold, the states can regulate themselves to avoid being classified as a below-median performer. This book details several policies that can be passed through the reconciliation process which focus on honest and accurate representation, public finance enhancements, and economic reforms.
