Democratic Appreciation Thread,

[gab13by13]

This is for the Build back better and infrastructure bills. A lot of credit goes out to Speaker Pelosi for not caving on voting for the infrastructure bill first. We all know what would have happened, we wouldn't have a Build Back Better bill.

I sincerely believe that both bills will get passed and several months ago I had my doubts.

So I am giving my early congratulations to Congressional Democrats. Even a 1.5 trillion dollar bill will be a BFD.

Good job Dems. I feel it in my bones that these bills are going to pass.

1. K&a bit R!

Assuming a final figure of 1.5T on the BBB bill, how many trillions do all of the bills the Dems have passed add up to? Could you have imagined we'd accomplish all that in January of 2021? I couldn't. Could you have imagined Biden/Dems would lift so many children out of poverty with the tax credit? I couldn't.

I predict all the squabbling will be forgotten as soon as the bills are passed, and we'll be able to look at Biden and the Dems as hugely successful at doing great things for this country.

2. When it comes to negotiating legislation, Joe is the man you want on your side!

And we owe Nancy Pelosi quite a bit

3. Great OP!

Voters in 2022 will remember which party delivered and which party deluded.

4. Yeah, well, fuck Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema. Kudos definitely do not extend to them.

As for the $1.5 trillion. It's a small piece of what's needed. I'll take it, but I'll also be watching for who among Dems are sincerely committed to fixing the economic inequities that have purposefully been created by the powers that be over the past 50 years. We aren't even close to out of the woods on this one.
