[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I ask...what's stopping Congress from [i]saying[/i] these programs will begin in 2024 or 2028, and just canceling them in the interim?[/quote]

I do wonder what will prevent the Republicans from gutting them hugely when they take power in 22/24? [/quote]

Biden will still have a veto from 2022-2024.  [/quote]

Government shutdown coming in 1, 2, 3.....

Which will be resolved by the Republicans keeping the infrastructure bill intact in exchange for gutting most of the social bill. I wouldn't be surprised if 2/3ds of it never becomes reality.

Yes, those tactics worked so well when they tried them on Obama and the ACA.[/quote]

Pretty easy. The current bill has 550 billion in climate fighting programs. Republicans will just cut that out completely, calling it wasteful bureaucratic bloat with no meaningful impact on people's lives. Biden is not a popular president and frankly I have no idea how he is able to function if the Reps control both houses.

It will be massively gutted, either outright or death by a thousand cuts. It's what happens when you try to pass something with the barest of majorities and rapidly sinking polling numbers and an opposition that shows no signs of being interested in working with you (because you also won't work with them).
