There are limits to how much we can tax even rich people. If we raise taxes & piss it away on unneeded $3,600 “tax credit” checks for $100K families & complex, badly designed child care plans, it won’t be there when liberals need it for something important-like universal Medicare https://t.co/ShQzvalbMv

Also, if we’re going to raise taxes by as much as fully funding BBB would take, we better get something really big for it (like Medicare (not Medicaid) for All) and not the half-crap grab bag of second-tier programs in BBB. https://t.co/dDTct5HvT0

Biden’s failure to push for treatments is surprising. Does he think it’ll detract from a pro-vax push-ie voters are dumb? But one reason to get vaxxed is to delay infection until treatment’s available. And vaxxed want treatments if they get infected.https://t.co/HbJqjUNhn2

Leaking juicy tidbits from allegedly private negotiations seems to be part of the Democrats’ Play Tough playbook. They did it to Trump too (in ommigration negotiations). They probably rightly assume the MSM is on their side and will overlook the breach, trash the target … https://t.co/RQSFPlW4zu
