[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ifwe had been told in January that there would be a ~2T reconcillation bill, we would all have been estatic. Biden, as usual, started with a high number that will end up around that figure, but the more important component than the money, is the framework.[/quote]
I agree but I think all the progressives’ hopes have been raised so they’re going to have a tantrum.[/quote]

Hopefully they'll get ot out of their system after tonight.  As long as they don't cross the line and say stuff that can't be taken back.  The path forward is clear.  $2T in revenue, $2T in spending and let the dynamic scoring count as deficit reduction.  Time to get to work.  Pick the strongest, most defensible options and remember to have something that can be sacrificed.  Everyone saves face.[/quote]

That is way too much money to spend ….now if it was Afghanistan sign me up! Got to put a few more natural gas refueling stations in…not that there is any demand for natural gas refueling stations in Afghanistan

[quote] WASHINGTON — U.S. taxpayers footed the bill for a $43 million natural-gas filling station in Afghanistan, a boondoggle that should have cost $500,000 and has virtually no value to average Afghans, the government watchdog for reconstruction in Afghanistan announced Monday.

A Pentagon task force awarded a $3 million contract to build the station in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, but ended up spending $12 million in construction costs and $30 million in "overhead" between 2011 and 2014, the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR) found. Meanwhile, a similar gas station built in neighboring Pakistan cost $500,000.[/quote]
