But, this morning, it seems to be an issue because the otherside is using the meme that Joe Biden's plan rivals the budget we spent after WWII, but Biden's plan is for daycare and electric cars.

I guess I'm fully in the Democratic camp because I'm thinking, "Wake up and smell the coffee. Daycare and electric cars are the future. So anything that smoothly takes us in that direction makes sense. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money."

He ran something like a 106% debt to GDP ratio. Republicans didn’t give a shit.

The high after WWII was something like 115%.
