Democrats divided over how to deal with rising inflation

[Gunny]

The only one making sense to me is Manchin. I'm really starting to like this guy I never heard about before Build Biden a Brain. The rest looks like to many factions unwilling to compromise, and Mitch acting like he's got a "special, secret plan". Again :rolleyes:

Zero creativity. They trot out the same "solutions" every time and I think they're just hoping for the right time where they can get stupid passed; Affordable Care Act comes to mind. The Windfall Profits Tax didn't work in the 30s either when they called it the Undistributed Profits Tax.

Yep. Redistribution of income, with gov't taking a bite at both ends.

I'm getting sooo tired of the false naming of political-crap bills. The "Build Back Better" bill isn't building anything back, and it's not doing anything better. It is intentionally intended to buy votes, and it is unintentionally creating hyper inflation. That's about it.

What's the next bill going to be named? The "Goodness" bill or the "Niceness" bill?

How about this idea - Congress has to write up every bill and then they have to submit it to the members of debatepolocy.com, who will then assign a name to it as they see fit? I have a few bill names ready, like "Biden is a Clown" bill and "Dems can Pound Sand" bill.
