62. Go Big or Go Home.

Tue Mar 23, 2021, 01:22 PM

Mar 2021

I read that there are some in the administration who want to split the package. The logic being that if they separate out infrastructure, they may be able to get some Republican support!?!

What planet are these people living on? The very idea that they still think they can reach out to these partisan extremists is just naive.

The Dems need to develop some street smarts.

I say go for it all while you have the momentum! Run a tank right down the middle of McConnell's roadblock. End the filibuster, pass HR-1, pass this infrastructure bill in it's entirety and reestablish a true progressive taxation system.

GO BIG or GO HOME!
