[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does Trump have to do with anything?

Yes, we know Biden is better than Trump. So what? Is that all he has to offer? Can we raise the bar a little higher than "well is he better than Trump?"

Why does every counter point on this site have to start with "well Trump..." enough with this [/quote]
The bar is so much higher already. OP’s trolling and doesn't want to admit that the $3.5 trillion is INSANELY popular with people. We’re so far behind where we ought to be, and this will help us catch up. The GOP [i]does not want us to catch up.[/i]

“It’s bloated! It’s not paid for!” Oh my god, so bloated, look at all this unnecessary spending nonsense! Like evening up the playing field for education! Address the forest fires that blanketed the entire country with smoke this summer! They’re even addressing housing? No, say it isn’t so, I love knowing that vets, the mentally ill and my children’s classmates are living on the streets!  :roll: 
“-726 billion for the Health, Labor, Education and Pensions Committee with expansive instructions to address some of Democrats' top priorities. Those areas include universal pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds, child care for working families, tuition-free community college, funding for historically black colleges and universities and an expansion of the Pell Grant for higher education.
-$107 billion for the Judiciary Committee, including instructions to address "lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants."
-$135 billion for the Committee on Agriculture Nutrition and Forestry, including instructions to address forest fires, reduce carbon emissions and address drought concerns.
-$332 billion for the Banking Committee, including instructions to invest in public housing, the Housing Trust Fund, housing affordability and equity and community land trusts.
-$198 billion for the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, including instructions largely related to clean energy development.” https://www.npr.org/2021/08/09/1026055615/senate-democrats-release-3-5t-budget-framework That article also goes on to say that the Democrats are having to go it alone. Why? Because the GOP is a bunch of sociopaths.

This could be paid for if we could get the IRS the money it needs for enforcement.

But it won’t be because the GOP is actively rooting for the US to fail. [/quote]

At some point you're going to have to understand that just because you think something is a good idea or should be priority doesn't mean that others do. Not even other democrats.[/quote]

Agreed.

Also if the Squad doesn’t stop holding up the Infrastructure solo bill which ALREADY passed the Senate they’re going to ruin the best physical development plan since the  Civilian Conservation Corps. It needs to get done but if they listen to AOC on this they’re going to end up like her district - out the largest multi-billion investment package in Bronx history because she didn’t like the terms. [/quote]

Like I said. Sinking. Ship.

Nah, that "infrastructure" bill is filled with rural giveaways.  Why should we pay to bail out Texas' lack of investment in their electricity infrastructure?  [/quote]

Physical infrastructure for the whole of the country is kind of the point. Bill is already written and passed in Senate. Will be rubber stamped in the House.

It’s also a third of the cost of the bill that hasn’t even been finished it’s being shackled to.

Stop with the bullshit. [/quote]

And it almost entirely benefits OTHER parts of the country.  The stuff that benefits urban progressive voters was shunted off into the reconcilliation bill.  They aren't going to just fold up and surrender.  [b]The bills were always linked and both sides have been clear about this from the beginning.[/b]  Manchin/Sinema and AOC et al are both doing this.  The only difference is that the AOC group isn't trying to pull a fast one and backstab the other side.[/quote]

Just because Nancy said this, that doesn't mean that everyone agreed to it.  In fact, there was plenty of push back about them being linked.

Moral:  Nancy doesn't always get what she wants.  [/quote]
