So How Much Money Are We Actually Talking About?

Description

Ok, so Bernie started at, like, 6 trillion dollars, or was it 11 trillion dollars? Maybe that was Liz that started at 11 trillion dollars. Anyway, the centrists soon told them those numbers were "pie in the sky" and they "compromised" to 3.5 trillion dollars? In the mean time, a bipartisan group hammered out an agreement of 1 trillion dollars on hard infrastructure stuff. Joe hailed it and Nancy promised to bring it to a vote by the end of September. But Bernie, Liz, OAC and Chuck didn't want any part of it and Joe and Nancy caved. So let's sort this out. We started the year with the CARES Corona Virus Relief Package of roughly 1 trillion dollars. Then there was the Bipartisan Infrastructure Package of another trillion dollars but has gone nowhere so that is back in the mix with the other social "safety net" issues, for what is now a 4.5 trillion dollar "want list", right? And my guess is Bernie and Liz are more interested in climate change and preschool than bridges and trains, so they will be trying to divert trillions for their agenda over hard stuff. So put the two, or three, depending on how you are counting, packages together, we are looking at packages for 2021 of 5.5 TRILLION DOLLARS and no guarantee we are going to get any new roads, transit, or broadband, right? How is this working for you?
