So the new center right theory is ditch BBB

[Voltaire2]

entirely.

So from 6T to zero.

That will certainly energize the electorate.

And transform peoples lives.

[boston bean]

1. Oh yeah, who is saying that?

[Voltaire2]

2. The usual people.

Start with Tim Kaine. Then see all the posts here claiming Mancinema aren’t the problem ‘cause they voted for the gutted shitty infrastructure bill.

[boston bean]

3. That is not what Tim Kaine said.

[Voltaire2]

5. Lulzd.

Ok whatever.

[Dorian Gray]

4. Where did Tim Kaine

say to drop BBB? Do you have a link to a quote or news article?

I heard him make comments about the VA election but nothing about BBB. ETA: Specifically house congressional democrats are all working against each other as to NOT pass things like BBB.

12. Link?

I didn’t see where Tim Kaine said that.

In pushing for passage of the Build Back Better bill, Kaine said, “I am a strong supporter of paid child and family leave, but remember this Margaret: everybody who cares about paid child and family leave also cares about the Child Tax Credit, they care about affordable child care, they care about pre-Kindergarten. And in that bucket of issues that matter to families and children, without being able to predict that everything that everyone wants will be fully funded for as long as we want – that bucket of issues for families and kids is going to be so powerful. I think this will be the biggest pro-child bill that will have been done in the history of this country. It will be to children what Social Security was to seniors. So I’m confident about that, even if some pieces of it are still being negotiated.”

Last month, Senator Kaine joined a letter pushing for the inclusion of both child care and universal pre-K in the Build Back Better bill.

15. I have no idea what you are talking about.. this is what Tim Kaine said yesterday.

While Kaine said he supports paid family leave and noted some aspects of the $1.75 trillion plan are still being negotiated, he predicted the legislation will be for children what the Social Security Act of 1935 did for the senior citizens.

"Everybody who cares about paid child and family leave also cares about the child tax credit, they care about affordable child care, they care about pre-kindergarten, and in that bucket of issues that matters to families and children, without being able to predict that everything that everyone wants will be fully funded for as long as we want, that bucket of issues for families and kids is going to be so powerful," he said.

The Virginia senator expressed optimism that the sweeping social spending and climate measure will also land on Mr. Biden's desk, which would lay a strong foundation for Democrats and the president ahead of next year's midterms.

"If a president can get two legislative houses of his own party to deliver, the president suddenly becomes pretty popular," he said.

The two bills are "great for every ZIP code in this country," he said.

8. Mancin and Sinema are doing this without saying it.

They aren't honest in their efforts.

19. Where is your link?

[Sherman A1]

6. I would prefer to ditch the center right

And there Jurassic views on how we go forward.

7. Nothing the GQP promises ever transforms people's lives

At least not for the better.

Sure, wealthy folks get wealthier and for them that's better, but other than that, people only suffer. The problem is it takes decades sometimes to recognize the impact of that suffering at a personal level, and by then the Republican healthcare plan went into effect and it's too late.

9. Who is advocating "ditching" the BBB?

[leftstreet]

10. Fuck it. Just give everyone recurring stimulus checks

while these clueless politicians futz around

[Voltaire2]

11. That was only possible while Trump was in office.

Now the deficit is a Huge Problem again and sensible woodchucks don’t want to burden future generations.

[BradAllison]

13. Oddly certain people have problems with that when Dems wanna do it. n/m

[lagomorph777]

16. That's not new; it's what SineManchin have been trying to do all along.

Need to put some pork in there for their donor owners. Get those assholes out of the way.

17. Post a link or delete this thread.

18. Agreed!
