Thursday evening, a giddy possibility reared its head.
Could the bipartisan infrastructure plan actually pass … tonight? After months of fits and starts, near-deaths, resurrections born from flurries of calls and, apparently, exclusive cook-outs on Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) houseboat, payfor meltdowns and about six solid weeks of Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) telling reporters that it was just about finished — could the whole thing really be wrapped up in a few short hours?
We at TPM are left to assume that Hagerty spent the duration of the Trump administration, for which he worked, gnashing his teeth and rending his garments at the unaccounted-for spending that added an eye-popping $7.8 trillion to the national debt during those four years.
Yeah, that’s what happened. It has nothing to do with the FACT that Rehtuglikllans become apoplectic whenever government funds are used for anything other than padding the bank accounts of America’s oligarchy.
And with supreme self-righteousness, those voters cast their votes for any monkey with an ( R ) beside his/her name. Stupidity reigns in the rightwing.
It isn’t Cruz this time it’s Haggerty. Is it his turn? Next it will be Paul or Langford?
Governance is not a thing the rethug party wants anything to do with.
Let’s not do that bothsiderism, please. There is a vast gulf between the Republikkklans and the Democrats on this issue. Democrats want to spend for the betterment of the country. Republicans want to pay off their oligarchs and their benefactors with OUR money.
Dude, those tax cuts payed for themselves! The budget deficit exploded the day Joe Biden took office, not one minute before…and if you believe this crap, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
