Nice chart. It really highlights the problem. I understand your point, but I still think that any legislation that creates a structural imbalance can be considered major legislation. Passing that major legislation via reconciliation can be problematic.

I'm not against reconciliation, but I don't really like where all the politics are taking the country. One side abuses filibusters and then the other uses reconciliation to overcome it. I feel like our gov't is becoming a place of game playing instead of a place where Americans come together for the good of the country. Maybe it's always been that way and I'm just waking up to that fact.
