Desperate Democrats are either the most comical or the most dangerous or maybe both.
The whiff of desperation surrounding Washington Democrats trying to save Presidentish Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda has become a stench so strong that it’s impossible to mistake from my home on the Front Range.
If you haven’t been following the situation on Capitol Hill — and it’s in so much flux that it’s almost impossible to stay completely up to date — I’ll give you a brief rundown before we get to that odor.
“Build Back Better” is Biden’s slogan for a massive expansion of welfare, spending, regulation, the likes of which we haven’t seen since LBJ’s Not-So-Great Society. Massive change on slender majorities is not a good idea, either politically or for the nation’s social fabric, but Dems gotta Dem.
BBB comes in two parts.
The first is a $1.2 trillion-with-a-T “infrastructure” bill that doesn’t contain much actual infrastructure spending, but is nonetheless supported by enough Republicans to almost guarantee its passage. (We’ll get back to the “almost” momentarily, so stick a pin in that.)
The second is another, even larger bill so absurd that its contents fall under comic sci-fi writer Douglas Adams’ “bistromathics.” There have been several versions of this bill, ranging in price from the current “compromise” bill costing $1.8 trillion (so they say) to the original Bernie Sanders (CPUSA-Vermont Oblast) version weighing in at $3.5 trillion (but actually $5 trillion).

Gravy for everybody...extra helpings for unions, lefty orgs, and relatives of FJB.
“Build Back Better” is a Global slogan.
It’s difficult to believe that BiXiden had much to do with setting the spending items.
It’s The Burn’s agenda.
Bixiden will be known as a failure no matter the disposition of Yellin’s inflation quelling spending.
Can’t wait until they are dropping Democrats into wood chippers
I was just wondering when it stops being pigs and this movie turns into Fargo.
Yet they will eventually announce a deal has been struck an further ruin the country becauce they can
They couldn’t do any of this if the GOP was not on board.
It’s a one party rule with two different jerseys.

“I swear, I thought pigs could fly!”
That’s a turkey of a comment.
