Wishful Thinking

You have to take the House, Senate and White House first

Till then……Reconcilliation

Pay back is a bitch..

Schumer needs to realize that whatever is in it, Republicans will not vote for the Infrastructure bill


Reconcilliation!

They would vote for it if there was infrastructure in it.

And if they take all the things in the bill that help people survive away from them what's gonna happen on the next election?

Republicans will win.

odd…it survived and was quit successful for the hundred plus years before either of them.

with that said, i have no issues with the concepts…but as they are currently designed they will fail. medicare and medicaid are the largest drivers of debt. They all need massive reform.

I could care less what Trumps take on this is but there is no deal. There is no bi-partisan agreement. Biden made damn sure of that.

They are just moving whatever concessions they make to another bill they plan on passing after with reconciliation. It is a dishonest crock of shit. Why would any of the Republicans vote for a bill they know is simply to give the Democrats cover?

People still lived in squalor. Nothing to brag about. Consider that a slam.

It means nothing to your narrative, but it means plenty to any objective interpretation of the facts.
