Obvious answer is 2b where you tie yourself in knots trying to go nuclear lite and totally lose the plot in the process

Biden clearly should not do #1. The problem with #2 is that reconciliation delays the inevitable and creates a tiered system where issues that happen to be ineligible - like civil rights and democracy reform - are relegated to second-class status and left to die by filibuster.
Biden will have two options:

1. Cut the price tag sharply to court GOP support.
2. Use reconciliation to do what he can with 50 votes\u2014some stuff has to go, like $15 wage.
(A 3rd option is nuke the filibuster but @PressSec says he doesn\u2019t favor that.)https://t.co/AV49BcmDaI
Is there a way to keep the filibuster unchanged, but greatly expand what is allowed under reconciliation?

Easier to change obscure budget rules

Can it get us through the next 4 years, while the bigger filibuster reform project builds w/ a non West Virginia/Montana dependent majority?
