Im with you on all that, but Biden deserves blame for enabling him. Manchin wanted the infrastructure bill badly, but Biden did an about-face and agreed to split it from BBB. In other words, he gave away the bribe for free. stephensemler.substack.com/p/why-isnt-t...

I’m also curious why Biden didn’t include the child tax credit in his next budget request. He proposed it in the one after that, though, after Dems had lost the House.
