Is it obvious that progressive Dems (including some in Pelosi’s “inner circle”) don’t really care about infrastructure–it’s the locomotive designed to pull into law “Biden’s social safety-net agenda,” especially the welfare-like “child tax credit’ cash? https://t.co/MnvNqiJ5VV

Still sends cash to enable non-working & fatherless families who are likely to be in neighborhoods with other non-working families-with bad social consequences, a possibility you’ve acknowledged! Fixing marginal incentives to go off dole is minor compared with CREATING dole https://t.co/Fq3Sl87mWQ

.@MattYglesias agrees: It’s all about the refundable “child tax credit,” which undoes welfare reform by with $100 billion in you-don’t-have-to-work cash checks. That’s the big deal buried in the infrastructure bills.

MARK THE DATE: June 21, when various almuni of the Clinton administration attempt to gin up enthusiasm for essentially overturning Clinton’s welfare reform. I think it’s a terrible idea! https://t.co/4RiCSoYETP They’re trying to pass it in big “Families” bill. Can block it there https://t.co/n6gQhILpks

Jill vs. Kamala war is a great story! Needs a bit more…evidence (though maybe Harris’ seemingly dada “Europe” comment was a sign of resentment). Idea that Kamala–Kamala!–is “handling” Biden seems wacky. https://t.co/U1Es8Ozzr7

OLD PARTY LINE: Of course a guaranteed income won’t support a life of non-work! See my study!
NEW PARTY LINE: Of course a guaranteed income will support lifetime non workers (who “play video games or melt into Netflix”)! But why talk about *them*?
