The Democrats don't want to slash from the budget. This appears to be the strategy Nancy mentioned:

.@SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi, don’t cut ANY items in the #BuildBackBetter bill—just reduce the period from 10 to 5 years. Everything stays and Manchin/Sinema get the price tag closer to $2 trillion. It’s a win/win. Plus, Dems can run on keeping these popular programs in ‘22 & ‘24.

I think Jon Cooper’s idea to cut the term from 10 to 5 years=the best solution-DEMs need to recover from the appearance they can’t get the job done,start talking to voters about the values they stand for&give independents who’ve lost faith in Biden a reason to vote for them again

Snake oil economics. Money’s an archaic exchange mechanism that skews distribution in favour of a few. People & resources are the real assets, money has become an inhibitor. A promissory based on trust, run by crooks. What could possibly go wrong?

No one likes 2think they’ve been fooled most of their lives let alone radicalised Capitalism is akin to an extremist religion that sets itself apart from others by removing the humanity & reducing most people to economic liabilities Hence the emperor’s new clothes show will cont.

True, but we've never been good at preemptive investment. For example, readily available mental health care would not wipe out homelessness, but it would vastly reduce it and there are serious savings to be had.

Exactly. You automatically invest in future generations, our children's children. Trickle down is not building up a society. End of discussion!
