They put their self image a Reasonable Leaders ahead of strategic considerations or basic retail politicking.

So bad. On a broader lever, so bad to reinforce the misnomer that the President somehow controls gas prices when youâre getting hammered on that issue.
No way he has any glaring conflicts of interest here!
Insurance reimbursement. Letâs go Brandon.

The Democrats!
Of course, watching Republican Senators talk about the problem is kind of silly because they would oppose a child care proposal regardless of its content and would especially object to my proposed solution to this specific problem, which is to get rid of the subsidy cliffs and provide subsidies to all child care users.
But itâs even sillier that the Democrats have put together a proposal so sloppy and ill-conceived that Republicans can take these shots at it. The problems with this subsidy cliff design are very well-known at this point. In fact, they are so well-known that, in this same piece of legislation , Democrats have included a provision to permanently get rid of a virtually identical subsidy cliff used to compute subsidies for insurance purchased on an Obamacare exchange.
How do you see the problem well enough to want to fix it when it comes to Obamacare but donât see it well enough to want to avoid it when it comes to creating a child care subsidy scheme?
Whatâs sad is that this isnât even the worst instance of policy amnesia when it comes to this proposal. That honor belongs to designing the program as a cash grant to states that choose to participate in it. We know from Medicaid expansion that the result of this design will be that many states wonât participate. Indeed, we know this well enough by now that, in this same piece of legislation , Democrats have included a provision to directly provide health insurance to people in non-participating states who fall into the so-called âMedicaid gap.â They could change the design of the child care program to avoid creating a similar âchild care gap,â but they donât seem to want to.
