    While the bill that just survived the Senate is a whittled-down version of the Build Back Better Act, it still puts the Democratic party on a promising new path.

    The bill is only a portion of what should have been, true. But here’s the big picture on why even this whittled-down bill is, as Joe Biden once said of another historic but compromised piece of legislation, “a big fuckin’ deal.”

    In a nutshell: It begins to turn 40 years of bad economic conventional wisdom on its head by asserting that the government has a role in structuring markets, promoting growth, and guiding industrial policy.

    but I also read many posts by liberals here that this would reduce inflation........despite many of us on here saying it would only increase it. So....either you KNEW it wasn't going to reduce inflation, thereby lying to people, or you were too stupid to realize it until others started saying it wouldn't.

    anyone actually defending this political bullshit should never be trusted again.
    I don't care if they called it the pepperoni pizza act to get Manchin's vote.

    Democratic senators and the mainstream media were completely open and transparent about what was in the bill. Nobody who reads the news could have been ignorant about what was in the bill.

    Let us know how that works out for ya.

    Please do make note of and annotate any way you benefit personally by the passing of that bill.

    Seriously, it's a big "Fuck You, Hoi Polloi" bill and your bills are about to go up, Sunshine. You are the Hoi Polloi.

    They don't care about you.

    I do, but you wanna be stupid. It's not my right to stop you from being stupid.

    so now you're on the side of thinking people are smart???????
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    And what has all that government control brought to Americans?

    NOT ONE FY of GDP growth over 3.8% for the ENTIRE 21 years.
    And only 2 fiscal years of 3+% growth AT ALL.


    Yet, during Bill Clinton's term alone, when free markets still, at least, partially reigned?
    The economy grew at over 4% GDP for FIVE FY's.
    And NEVER under 2.7%.
    With roughly similar growth under Reagan.
    And on and on.

    https://www.thebalance.com/gdp-growt...erages-4801102


    There has not been free market economics (lassaize faire capitalism) in America for generations.
    And nothing even close to it since 2000.
    And the US economy has stagnated ever since.


    Anyone who says the problem with the American economy is too much, lassaize faire capitalism?
    Hasn't a fucking clue what they are talking about on the subject.

    If borrowing causes inflation, then taxing more than you spend would decrease inflation. But you do not want to hear logic.
    Daniel Patrick Moynihan said it best, "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts."
    Paul Begala, "Politics is show business for ugly people."
    Stephen Colbert, "Reality has a well known liberal bias."
    trump is a child rapist. We all know it.

    Undoubtedly, you also predicated that Obamacare would crash the economy.
