This article was published before Biden stripped most of the benefits to regular people out of the reconciliation bill. The name should be changed from "Build Back Better" to "Toady for Oligarch's" bill, because Biden has abandoned his own agenda.
Prescription drug price control, GONE!
Free community college, GONE!
Family and Medical Leave, GONE!
Clean Energy, GONE!
Fossil Fuel reductions, GONE!
in Home care for disabled and elderly cut by nearly 2/3rds
Child tax credit, cut back to one single year.
Medicare expansion cut back to only covering hearing now that hearing aids have become over the counter and cheap.
The best of the reconciliation package has been stripped away, or diminished to the point it will no longer function as originally intended. At this point, will the "Build Back Better" bill actually help most working people, disabled people, the elderly, the young and the poor? And we must remember that Biden is probably not done stripping the remaining decent parts out of the bill, Manchin and Sinema haven't yet agreed to any of this insulting sham of a bill it's become, which suggests more cuts will be needed for Manchin and Sinema to get on board. Get ready for the 800 billion package, it's on it's way.
The " BUYpartisan Infrastructure" bill is a privatization plan where the use of the term "Asset Recycling" means selling off public works to allegedly fund new ones. The truth is this will result in corporations profiting off, but not properly maintaining our public works, to the hazard of us all. How many bridge and dam collapses must we have, how many people need to die, before that idea gets abandoned?
Democrats have been promising drug price reform since 2006, as usual, they promise decent things, but then never deliver, and when they do deliver, it's full of poison pills to keep their oligarch donor's happy, just like the ACA did. The Republicans reliably promise they will make things much worse and they always reliably deliver. Either way "We The People" get shat on again.
Life will go on as it has always gone on, that is badly
