What if the Democrats had gotten all their pet projects done?

The inflation numbers would be twice what they are now. Gas would be pushing $12+ per gallon.
Low income Americans would be suffering greatly.
We should all thank Joe Manchin for preventing the disastrous Build Back Better from passing.
 
Not only the Build back better fiasco, but the student loan debacle and the other freebies.
That's a crapload of funny money.

Nothing is built.
Nothing is back.
Nothing is better.
 
Haha. So you commies actually believe adding another 6 or 7 trillion to the debt would have been a good thing?
:LOL:

Depends on whether the benefit of that money outweighed the risks of increasing the debt.

Actually, that's just a general rule I apply to fedgov spending.
 
The dirty open secret of American politics is Democrats and Republicans like to promise and purpose solutions far more than they like delivering on them. A problem solved can not be uses in an ad explaining how important it is they be elected to fix it. A solved problem doesn’t get people to the polls, what you have done doesn’t play as well as what you will do. A solved problem doesn’t help to open up pocketbooks.

Life would be slightly more difficult for rich people and immeasurably better for those in the middle class downward.

Of course not. It was less than two trillion over ten years. Why would I believe your lie

Didn't Bernie want 6 trillion, the progressives said even that isn't enough, then said they'd "compromise" at 3.5 trillion? My pants aren't on fire. Are yours?

What Bernie, let alone the progressives who go further, want has yet to be what many other democrats want, let alone vote for.

I assume he/they start high because he/they know they'll reduce the number in negotiations, but that's a guess.

Well ya. Because the economy was roaring, gas was cheap, wages were high. And now?

Irrelevant. Debt is debt. If you're mad about it with one person and not the other, that is the definition of a hypocrite.
 
Americans are fed up with the incompetence and sheer stupidity of the dem leaders in Congress and the WH.

Big reckoning coming in November - - most Americans know what needs to be done.

Alas, the damage done by this failed administration could take years to correct.

You folks who supported and maybe still support Trump have absolutely no credibility on the topic of failed administrations.
