Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

A Big Fucking Deal

 When Obamacare passed, Biden was caught telling Obama that this was a "big fucking deal." Now, it looks as if Democrats might finally be closing in on the passage of BBB.

Combined with the earlier infrastructure bill, this is a huge step forward in social spending and efforts to repair various broken parts of our country. 

Yes, it is not perfect, but every Twitter Slacktivist and every IRL activist who decries BBB because it doesn't go far enough? They can work to add Democrats to both Houses next fall so maybe we can build on it.

This is how legislation happens. If you think it sucks, it does. If you become despondent over that, you're a toddler.
