They were in the midst of fighting for the big spending bills that were going to be Biden's legacy, his claim to be the next FDR. You know - the "Build Back Better" agenda. The American Rescue Plan had already been adopted, and Democrats were pushing for the American Jobs Plan/American Families Plan components. Another $4 trillion in spending, on top of the ARP plan.

You can't get a $4 trillion package of new spending through the Congress if you're out there saying inflation is burning hot and is a top priority. So they didn't.

I'm open then. Was there another way to handle that, or were we just doomed? It's the inflation PLUS THE BORDER THOUGH isn't it? Is what I've read that Joe went with some Latino activists and was steered wrong true? That dismantling the barriers Trump put up didn't get Latino votes? I just ran that past a Latino and his response was he didn't want more people coming across the borders either. He was a landlord in LA with cheap properties that housed some bloods and crips. Now he's rehabing the house next to me that burned. This is a very good neighborhood though.
