pass it unchanged (that's the plan).

I trust Biden, but I don't trust a dangerous creature that wears an F U ring or someone that's indicated there's no reason to pass BBB this year.

The BBB bill is over 1,500 pages, what's to say someone in the Senate doesn't find something they don't like that was stuck in there. With the BIF already passed the major leverage progressives had is gone.

Depends on whether the voters are encouraged by progress (some has already occurred). triron Oct 2021 #13

I always vote no matter what, but I'm not encouraged about progress yet. Silent3 Oct 2021 #14
