After thinking about it, I am glad they passed it and I’m glad Biden got a win but, if it was passed via reconciliation, why did it have to be watered down at all? I believe they (Democrats) originally wanted $3.4 trillion, then dropped down to $2.2 trillion because Republicans wouldn’t go that high, then they dropped down further to $1.8 trillion because Republicans would only go to $1.6 trillion after not wanting to go north of $1 trillion for the longest. Finally, they settled on the $900 billion package in December. Add this $1.9 trillion bill and it’s $2.8 trillion. With no Republican support. As predicted. Why not go for the full $3.4 trillion?
