since i don't see this being discussed anywhere here, i'll bring it up.
a Cliff Notes synopsis on why they are being tied by Dem "progressives", and not by Dem "moderates"
but first a quick definition of terms. (and a note on how horribly inept and incompetent Dems, especially progressives, are at labeling/messaging/branding).
"Dem Progressives", Dems that are pro working class more so than Wall St/investor class puppets.
"Dem Moderates", Dems that while usually liberal on social policy, are literally owned by Wall St on everything economic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pubs do not have 60, or even 50, votes in the senate.
Dems do not have 60 votes in the senate, and pro working class Dems, (progressives), don't even have 50.
but you know who does have 60 votes in the senate, and a clear majority in the house?
Wall St, that's who.
and they got those votes the old fashion way.. they bought them.
Wall St wants the smaller infrastructure bill that's already passed, because so much of that money will go directly to Wall St. (why that bill passed. DUH).
Wall St doesn't support the bigger bill that deals with expanded medicare benefits, child care, global warming, child subsidies for families, etc, but includes tax hikes on Wall St and the wealthy. (why it hasn't passed).
all that money in the larger bill will quickly trickle "up" to Wall St anyway, (money always trickles up), but much of it doesn't go straight there first, and there is that tax hike on corps and the investor class thing.
the pro working class Dems who rarely if ever get anything for the working class, have figured out that the only chance the working class and poor have to get anything from our now oligarchy, is to inextricably tie it to the bill Wall St does want.
in other words, if none for the working class and poor, then none for Wall St either.
since there are no pro working class Pubs, (at least none that vote that way), and Wall St puppet Dems, (moderates), always vote as Wall St tells them just as all Pubs do, it will come down to does Wall St want all the trillions in goodies for them in both bills more than they don't want the tax hikes on them, if the pro working class Dems actually do stick to their guns and hold out for both or nothing.
since Wall St literally controls the senate on everything economic, in the end, it will come down to does Wall St think the pluses for them with both bills outweighs the minuses of tax hikes on them and the investor class, if they can't just get the trillions in Wall St stimulus without the tax hikes on them.
Wall St has become used to getting only what they want, without any of the downsides like helping pay for it.
will be interesting to see if Wall St is willing to take even a little downside, to get a ridiculously huge upside.
would seem a no brainer, but not when Wall St and the investor class is now so used to getting only what it wants, on everything, all the time, without giving up anything ever.
and on a side note, the idiot progressives need to quit calling themselves "progressives" and their Dem counterparts "moderates", and just go with labeling themselves pro working class Dems, and everyone else, (including all Pubs), as pro Wall St/investor class puppets, since that's the real breakdown anyway.
