Can we please let the man and his admin get started? Not everything can get fixed in one shot. It will be seen as the reverse of what the repugs did for business. I'm sorry but somethings do need steps. The country still needs to run.

That’s completely illogical. Read the article. Even Schumer has said he could come in at $50,000. Tiny steps won’t “make the government run,” but they could lose Democrats the House in 2022.

He’s using the eat the crust approach from the recession which did nothing. The pandemic has laid bare the blind spots of our government. We’ve been bleeding out and they keep offering up bandaids instead of cauterization. Post pandemic incrementalism is not the answer.
