I just saw an interview by CNN's Erin Burnett of Representative Pramila Jayapal, the head of the Democrat Progressive caucus in the House and it is no wonder Congress is in gridlock considering her views on things. She says that it is the job of Democrat members of Congress to advance the Democrat President agenda and to send to that President's desk the bills the President wants sent to it. I think the American people think your job is to look out for the interests of all the constituents in you district consistent with being considerate to the American people interests as a whole for you are a representative in the "United States" Congress. This Build Back Better Act will cause a lot of harm in America if you don't acknowledge that you are not an honest person, this bill is around 2500 pages and if the American people learned all that is in it they would be adamantly opposed to a lot of its provisions for it will dramatically hurt businesses and thereby dramatically hurt jobs, it is preposterous to believe that if the American people learned all that is in it they would support passage of this bill by seventy percent a prudent assessment would be seventy percent of Americans would not want it passed as is. Representative laments that the Progressive Caucus has already compromised in the process this is a nonsense remark, the Build Back Better Act is a Progressive Democrat "wish list" bill. Progressives in the House should stop acting like immature spoiled children that are not fully getting their way they should stop demanding that negotiations with the moderates start with the 2500 page toxic bill and start from scratch and begin with the policy issues where Progressives and moderates agree. The honest to goodness truth is that ii the Progressive would follow the lead from moderates like Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema by December the Democrats will have a reconciliation bill that will outstandingly help America and will be a great asset to the Democrats as they campaign in 2022 and 2024!
