Biden critics fiddle over 'human infrastructure' while inflation burns through our pockets
Filling up is a pain in the gas. But higher prices mean nothing to fat cats who have seen their wealth soar during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some progressives will rip President Joe Biden for the “framework” agreement for his so-called human infrastructure plan that was announced Thursday. Why? Because they didn’t get everything they wanted. Boo hoo.
They’ve been as intransigent as the Republicans in standing in the president’s way, and in doing so have done themselves and their far-left brand harm. Governing is about making choices. The president said no one's getting everything they wanted, “including me.”
Ronald Reagan used to say that there’s nothing wrong with getting 80% of what you want now – you can always come back for the rest later. Meanwhile, Republicans are cackling too, but for a different reason: Their spin is that Biden gave in or retreated on key things he wanted.
