I agree. Chamber of Commerce types are not hated on enough. I think they are mostly boys clubs for white supremacist failson business owners. But I am sure that centrist Dems probably imagine that they are Reasonable Republicans.

Because that would assume that itâs going to stay constant over that time frame. Probably will be more like $8 trillion after all is said and done.

So itâs just going to end up with money for coal? Sounds great. Should sweep the midterms.

Surprised they didnât time the child tax credit to stop payment Nov 1 2022.
Climate change also isnât a debate, it is Manchinâs red line. There wonât be anything meaningful in there which makes me more confused about how much they are gutting the social spending.
Paid leave also from 12 weeks to 4 weeks.
Given the battle here is really centrist Dems Vs progressive Dems, and that the progressive Dems are in the safer seats, if fair voting past 2022 was gonna be a thing weâd definitely be past the point where progressives should walk away from the table and let the centrists burn

Because itâs âonlyâ 0.726 Trillion?
I think the reference is they use the single year for the defense budget but the infrastructure bill is referenced in a 10 year time frame.

In any state the Dems can prevent an audit they should be funding Superpac ads telling voters to refuse to vote unless an audit occurs.

If everyone in power were trying their hardest to give Trump a second term with 60+ GOP senators in 2024, what would be happening differently?

Theyâll vote. Theyâll claim to be principled but they arenât.
So the progressives are just caving and are going to pass Manchinâs version of the reconciliation? When did this happen? Seems like out of nowhere in the past 24 hours Iâve seen a bunch of stories like âall of the things you like are being taken out of the bill, according to a sourceâ. Are the progressives going to come out and explain why theyâre doing this? We had a whole thing last month, guys - you withheld your vote on the other bill. What happened?
I havenât seen progressives get behind the bill yet, or Sinema for that matter. They might, everyone is somewhat incentivized to deal, but climate is the heaviest lift and I havenât seen any progress there.
Iâm sure there is some good stuff in the bill that will actually help some people, but politically this is a total failure.
What is a normal person going to think of this bill? Nothing. They donât know whatâs in it or how it will benefit them. The messaging is atrocious. What Republicans do well is relentlessly hammer home a few easily understood talking points. It really shouldnât be that hard to run with âweâre raising taxes on rich people and corporations to pay for _______.â But Democrats.
Itâs going to end up being an orgy of means-tested corporate welfare programs. Even the people that benefit wonât associate it with Democrats because their communication with voters is so bad. WAAF

Similarly, the people that will benefit will need to go through annoying means-testing hoops and will hate it. Dems will politically suffer from the âlook at how annoying and bureaucratic and inefficient the government isâ narratives and spend all their time on defense about that instead of on offense about how Rs are offering no help at all.
