And there is the sad fact that increasingly few pay any sort of close attention to much of politics that matters. While we expect much of the media, and should, I think the failure is in Americans ourselves. When they get hurt by their own political decisions maybe they will learn, but until then they will take the easy road and the quick answer, no matter how wrong for the long run. Biden shepherded thru many good policies for manufacturing and the economy and the average working family but they are slow to manifest and a tax cut and money in the pocket is so much quicker, easier even if wrong relative to national debt and making the kind of long term capability and infrastructure improvements we really need for sustainable gain.
