Yes, the self-executing rule has been used other than to decrease the budget on a bill.

Wrong question. Has the reconciliation process ever been used except to decrease a budget on a bill? A simple yes or no would suffice.
Yes.
And I note that the chart that you were responding to demonstrates the use of the self-executing rule, not reconciliation.

The Slaughter Rule has never been used for anything, because it was just created out of thin air by Democrats because they lack the votes to pass this monstrosity! The procedure being used to formulate the Slaughter Rule, has been used numerous times, on much less significant legislation, and in a way respecting the integrity of Congress. This is an outrage! Every American should be DEMANDING they vote on this bill! Up or Down, let's GO! The time for debate is over, the time for amendments is over! Send the bill to the floor for a vote, and let our representatives go on record... NOW! Or, pull the bill and let's start over from square one! Because I promise you pinhead, this will NOT stand! The American people will not allow this, and if it means rounding up pitchforks and firing up the torches and heading to Washington, that's what is about to fucking happen, if this proceeds! There is going to be an outrage like you've not witnessed in your lifetime, and it's going to make Tea Party Rallies look like a bake sale!

I am obligated and dedicated to uphold the Constitution when it says "against all enemies foreign and domestic" and that is what I view you at this point. A domestic enemy who has invaded our representative republic and installed a democratic dictatorship. I regret that it's coming down to this, and we are seeing that you are all a bunch of liars when you spoke of bipartisanship and changing the tone in Washington... but the time for peaceful solutions is running out.
I don't want you to take that as a threat, I want you to understand, we are reaching a tipping point in this country, and the people will not stand for this. We're not Europeans, we mostly have a heritage of defying constraints of political power, that's why we came here to America! You may think you can shoehorn us into some Liberal Wet Dream, but I think you are about to be in for a rude awakening to reality.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

You keep saying you want any reform to be bipartisan...Here's what YOUR party leader, Mitch McConnell(R) thinks of "bipartisanship"...
“It was absolutely critical that everybody be together because if the proponents of the bill were able to say it was bipartisan, it tended to convey to the public that this is O.K., they must have figured it out,” Mr. McConnell said about the health legislation in an interview, suggesting that even minimal Republican support could sway the public.
Goose-stepping, jack-booted Nazi thugs who value party over country...thy name is Republican.

Landmark Legal Foundation to File Suit to Stop President’s Health Plan if ‘Slaughter Rule’ is Used
(LEESBURG, VA, MARCH 17, 2010)…Mark R. Levin, president of Landmark Legal Foundation, today issued a warning to the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives about the possible use of the so-called “deem and pass,” “self-executing,” or “Slaughter Rule” to enact H.R. 3590, the legislative version of President Obama’s healthcare proposal that has been previously approved by the Senate. If this tactic is employed, Landmark will immediately sue the President, Attorney General Eric Holder and other relevant cabinet members to prevent them from instituting this unconstitutional contrivance.
“Landmark has already prepared a lawsuit that will be filed in federal court the moment the House acts. Such a brazen violation of the core functions of Congress simply cannot be ignored. Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution is clear respecting the manner in which a bill becomes law. Members are required to vote on this bill, not claim they did when they didn’t. The Speaker of the House and her lieutenants are temporary custodians of congressional authority. They are not empowered to do permanent violence to our Constitution.

WTG GREAT ONE!
The good news, for all of us, is that it looks like they will not have to use deem and pass to get this bill passed, today was the breaking point.
