Well, here Biden came out with a huge $6 trillion plan and all sorts of great progressive goals. Of course there were compromises. Does Biden get credit for doing what the critics said Democrats should do, start out big? No, he does not.

Today I saw Obama blamed for not getting a large enough stimulus bill in 2008. But Democrats had 59 votes in the Senate and they needed Republicans to pass it so that's where the compromise came in. Not Obama's fault. That how government works.

Obama got "disappointing" and Biden will get "crumbs" from the people who don't understand how government works.
