Biden infrastructure/tax increase megathread

[PSOL]

Passing an infrastructure bill this early would be a pretty major victory for the Democratic Party in snubbing Trump. Let’s go boyos

From a PR standpoint, if this passes, Biden is nearly 1/5 of the way there of major legislation and executive action he needs to get re-elected; immigration reform, citizenship for Dreamers, another round of stimulus till 2022, statehood for DC and PR, some sort of major foreign policy victory (his own peace deal? Iran?). The first 4 seem most likely to be doable by 2022.

The bill at hand is mainly just for preventing the poor from falling into starvation and mass eviction along with positive macroeconomic trends for the next three years. So far this country is getting back its footing, but I don’t believe Biden has the will or means now to go further and attempt to bring the pre-pandemic economy back, legislation wise and the fact that many businesses are now either bankrupt or pushed into being zombie corporations surviving on debt and occasional bailouts. The very minute fiscal policy isn’t working in tandem with the Fed, well then the stock market crash is gonna wipe away most of the jobs in this country. Oh well, here’s hoping it can be adverted at least a few years longer than 2030.

Good if it passes.

We get nothing out of this deal

The wait on this and the fact that people are more tuned in than ever is really harming Democrats electoral chances. There is now no more room for self-compromising.
