Not Divided

The headlines are misleading. The Democratic Congress is not divided or at war with each other. They are remarkably unified but are being held hostage by some corporate-friendly outliers. 

The big number for the reconciliation infrastructure bill is misleading. Trump's tax cut was a %5 trillion dollar bill and the anti-democratic Republicans didn't even blink at it despite the economic theory behind it has been proven to be wrong multiple times.

I'm looking forward to have Medicare provide vision and hearing coverage. Many folks living in states controlled by the anti-democratic Republicans are looking forward to expanded Medicaid. Families are looking forward to the expanded tax credit that will lift them out of poverty. Family bread-winners are looking forward to paid family and medical leave so they don't have to choose between keeping their job and being there for their family when the family needs them most.
