So Republicans want Biden to dramatically scale back economic relief in the name of bipartisanship. Their offer is insultingly inadequate and their claims that using reconciliation would “poison the well” are rich given how they rammed through the 2017 tax cut. But there’s more… Why, exactly, is bipartisanship something to be valued now? When a political party by and large still won’t accept Biden’s legitimacy and embraces Jewish space laser people, why is it a virtue to cooperate with it?
Please share widely!
I’m heartened that Biden has been very clear that he won’t budge on the $1400 checks and won’t compromise on a big stimulus package. He said the Republicans are proposing smaller plans or nothing at all. He’s still extending the olive branch to meet them halfway, but he has the votes.
