quickly became clear that this was really complicated. back to the senate. oh lord. then you head up here. the white house to get signed. you could see why this would be a little hard to follow or confusing for anyone who doesn t work in congress for a living. i mean it s three, 58 steps. here the provision we re talking about. the basically said you can get student loans through bankruptcy. when do we notice? the first time it pops up his back here in this little detour to the rules committee. what does that suggest? that suggests it was part of a managers amendment, which include smaller things than individual members belmont want during the time to be a debate so because they re not controversial. so you can slip it in we are a ton of public discussion, with a lot of attention? this was a big step. now we knew when it came in and that it was slipped in where it was less likely to be noticed. this enabled ryan to come up with three top suspects. this is chairman o
decision i think is subject to the politics and the power in the time that decision was made. i know what you re that s what you re looking at. i think it s a very fair question to reopen. but in order to reopen it, we needed to understand how this little notice of massive change happened in the first place. i needed my own deep throat, or, you know, something that sounds less gross. so this is what you learn in school. the house and senate have to pass the same version of the bill for to become law. so when you go back to the beginning and look at this so i called in a favor. its version sentences vision and send it back down to the house. so that s a new bill, though, they re standing. this is ryan mcconaughey, a top policy adviser from my days on capitol hill, and no one in d. c. knows more how a bill becomes a law than him. conference committee, and then when they were at this point in the line, then you luke back to me but it
