Hi John,
There’s been a lot of back and forth in Congress and haggling behind closed doors today about the BIF and Build Back Better bills. But whatever happens, this fact remains: $3.5 trillion was the compromise.
When she was running for president, Kamala Harris said she wanted to spend $10 trillion — on climate alone.
Candidate Biden said he wanted to spend $7 trillion on his Build Back Better bill.
Then this May, it went down to $5 trillion.
Then $3.5 trillion.
Now it’s $1.75 trillion.
And to top it all off, the proposed Democratic tax cuts for the rich are retroactive. But prescription drug price cuts don’t start until 2025-2028.
Come on, man.

I’m running against a Joe Manchin Democrat. He’s a proud deficit hawk who brags that he’s returned $300,000 from his office budget to help pay for deficit reduction. (Wouldn’t that money have been better spent increasing his staff’s salary or paying interns?)
He’s such a deficit hawk that he even joined with Republicans to sign a letter calling for Social Security cuts.
Well, I don’t believe in selling out seniors or anyone else for the deficit, an issue that only seems to come up when it suits a rightwing political agenda. The richest country on Earth can afford a lot more than the corporate establishment wants us to think. If you agree, please donate to help me win, because we deserve more than the crumbs of the rich:
