Stop Obstructing, You Know, the Thing

Politics is all about framing. Part of why the the ambitious Democratic $3.5 trillion spending bill is down to $1.9 trillion and might go even smaller is because nobody, even in the media, knows what’s in it. How can you ask the public to support something nebulous?

    Dunno about “ambitious” at $3.5 trillion. At $6 trillion, that was almost ambitious (in that it still wasn’t enough but at least was a good strong start). At $3.5T it was middlin’. Now at $1.5T or whatever, it’s like the book report on Gulliver’s Travels that someone slapped together the night before it was due. The only question left now for the Biden, uh, presidency: Did his heart stop or was his heart stopped?
