Biden Admin Official Points To Hurricane Ida’s Damage In Pitch For Reconciliation Package | Talking Points Memo

Well, we’ve got to put the wretches somewhere … we have architects working to fix the “seen” problem, though. Subterranean barracks, maybe. I suppose we could start with the Mittelbau blueprints.

It’s been astonishing over the last month to watch pundits shrug off paying $2 trillion over twenty years to achieve nothing on the other side of the world and simultaneously choke on the very idea of spending $3.5 trillion over 10 years to invest in the US and our future

I don’t care about Mel. Do you?

Not necessarily. After adding the cost-plus provisions, “reasonable” fees, and family-and-friends grift at the expense of the public, the magical efficiency of the free market should, if you’re lucky, come in no more than double what it would have cost otherwise.

Agreed, but certainly they’d find a way of leaves all those costs out of the accounting.
Like with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

C’mon, what’s a new city without its own bidonville?

The three that I loaded where “AG Garland (says)…” and “Graham Pronounces…” and “Official Points To…”. No actual news, but at least chattersite talking-about-talking-about-stuff.

Good god, get real. Pretentious snowflakery.

Yeah, once they’ve ensured that they don’t have to pay for it (and the recent IRS leaks prove that they have), then they don’t really care how, or how much, the remaining suckers, I mean taxpayers, get soaked.

It’s just a business opportunity, at that point.

Suggested edit…

It’s not “abnormal” for our 18th century slave state protecting undemocratic 2 senators from each state federal legislative structure to be obstructed by a senator from a backwater reactionary low population economically insignificant state.

We now know why Sinema & Manchin are being such jerks. They’re both competing to get the bid for this and just following the developer’s request.
