Are warnock and assoff alive? You’d think after begging for votes and money to capture the senate, and now probably looking at being one termers, they’d be roasting manchin.

that’s just short-sighted billionaire-brain. yeah they save some capital gains, but more public investment would arguably create trillion dollar economic value, which the same corporations can/will disproportionally benefit from. a true honest entrepreneur would definitely see opportunities.

and if they were corrupt, and wanted to embezzle a chunk of BBB as gov’t contracts, they would support a higher number than $1.75T, right? that’s what true corrupt state-capitalists like putin and cheney do when in power.

but by being against a higher bill, they are really just revealing themselves as rent-seeking monopolistic “libertarians”, who have/want much greater ownership than the common man, and are willing to forego technological/ecological/societal change and greater future wealth for the sake of staying among the elite and in power.

Yeah as a card carrying incrementalist I am on team burn it down here as well.

it’s about the same as the 2017 tax cut.

obamacare was a bit different. its costs were offsetting expenditures in other areas. it collects less taxes than $50B/year, and total cost (with borrowing) was estimated as $938B over 10 years, but it produced $200B savings per year as well, and reduced deficit down by ~$150B.

Do you want to burn it down incrementally or in one great conflagration?

Can’t it be both?

Imagine having such a rotted-out, miniscule, up-your-own-ass beltway brain that you think someone not being able to afford college, not being able to afford dental or vision healthcare, not being able to take off work to raise their fucking children, or not being able to afford drugs because prices can’t be negotiated is in any way comparable to getting A FUCKING PIZZA MISSING ONE TOPPING.

I WANT TO FEED YOU ARSENIC AND NAILS TOO YOU FUCKING DOLT.

They are not real accounts. Russians and GOP turds aren’t the only ones with a bot army.

If centrists gave enough of a shit to furiously neg people on Twitter they wouldn’t be centrists in the first place.

Edit: that first guy in particular is lol not real

Is Nancy stubborn enough to put this to a vote? Or nah?

Highly unlikely, one often cited example of her “genius” is never taking a losing vote, as if counting votes is somehow some super difficult thing to do.

Warnock is getting gifted brain-damaged Herschel Walker. Ossoff isn’t up for 6 years. But your point still applies.

And it’s still probably about a coin flip

You mean University of Georgia legend, Heisman Trophy winning Herschel Walker? Being brain damaged is a point in his column with R voters there. Warnock is gonna get rolled by that guy imo
