The PP is right. We did not sign up for the social welfare bills. Just normalcy. Glad to see the moderates and independents once more having a voice in the party.

Look at the polling. The BBB is enjoying uniform support across political parties and across the country.

AND

It is more fiscally responsible than the infrastructure bill that passed last night.

Facts are important.[/quote]

The facts are that the vast majority of Americans have no idea what’s in the bill so how could it possibly have widespread support?  And the absurd shell games and accounting buffoonery that was employed to market it as a cost of 1.75T has already been exposed as an outright lie.  So yeah, where again are your facts that the majority of Americans support a $4T package of social boondoggles when our existing social security will be bankrupt in our lifetime?[/quote]

+1. It's like Americans "support the military," and yet they have no idea what it costs, what is being purchased with that money, or how it's being paid for. What is it these days: like $7.25 trillion over 10 years? The U.S. represents like 40% of the world's total military expenditures - so clearly, we've got some unnecessary bloat in there. And yet, these expenditures are very "popular." [/quote]

People are fairly simple minded when it comes to government, because most don't have time or interest into digging into all the weeds. What most believe, on both sides of the party fence, is that the military (aka defense spending) is one of the top three things our government should spend on. Social security and medicare/aid being the other two. When the numbers are so large and our deficit so large, the numbers become numbing and people just generally say, "ok".  That's why they are popular. Also, it is political suicide to not fully support our men and women in the service. Not saying I agree, but just explaining why it is. [/quote]
