And they should be starting at huge numbers and letting manchin and company work them down to like 4 trillion. We’ve been over this. Biden should have done it too. Started at like 8 trillion. Compromise at 5 or some shit.
The infrastructure is such a slam dunk. Most of the stimulus the government does is make money cheap, which makes people borrow money…rich people borrow money. They use that money to drive up the prices of real estate and stocks. The money does nothing but exacerbate problems. Infrastructure spending creates real value and puts a lot of money into middle class hands which gets spent in a greater variety of ways that produce more value.
It’s not like infinite infrastructure spending is great, but it’s well document that there’s a need. Things like fixing roads are +EV just on the wear and tear that bad roads cause to cars.
She forget like 95% of the people in the country hated McCain towards the end? And his death his party was joking about him burning in hell right after he died? McCain worked 10-20 years ago, in todays partisanship it won’t work. 95% of both sides will hate you. Sure Republicans will cheer when you block voting rights and shit but will still hate you for being a libtard and impeaching Trump twice.
He’s good on lots of stuff but this really illustrates how these guys live in a different, entirely comfortable world they are completely unwilling to disrupt.
Morally yes. Politically, no. The Dems shouldn’t take the bait and fuel Both Sides misleading narrative. The correct response is “Republicans are the party of racists, they are not on a position to criticize anyone else on race.”
I’m not sure it’s possible to be in a mixed ethnicity club in Rhode Island if you aren’t in Providence. It is a very WASPy, old money state (most of them are actually Catholic, but whatever). You get 2 feet outside the city and it’s just yacht clubs and tennis all the way to the border.
