    I haven’t seen the details of what’s in it, but it sounds like a very good thing.
    With the vaccine mandates and cases dropping, with the strengthening jobs numbers, I am cautiously optimistic.Report

  3. North says:

    It’s generally good news. it means that a critical failure outcome; BBB failing and the infrastructure bill being killed in the house out of incoherence or spite; is off the table. It’ll give Biden more resources to work away at the economy and it can theoretically give the Dems something to campaign on.

    It ain’t the whole ballgame but it is moving the ball down the field.Report

      If they can get the spending bill through as well in 2 weeks (or at all) I’d consider it a pretty successful stint in power, relative to the constraints they’re operating under of course.Report

      • North in reply to InMD says:

        I agree. If the Democratic Party manage to get any version of the reconciliation bill through it’ll be an enormously productive legislative session but in objective terms and especially in comparison to what the GOP manages to accomplish during their trifecta windows.Report

    I hope Biden will be able to survive this catastrophic political victory. Listening to the news reports, it sounds doubtful.Report
