    I'm a huge fan of incremental progress. I wrote a whole book defending Obama's presidency! But if the only permanent change Biden signs into law is a plussed up highway bill, there's no defending that. It's a failure and there will be a recknoning.

        It is true this isn't a caretaker presidency. There are challenges he is dealing with and he has want to do more. But we really are giving up if it doesn't pass now? Isn't the thought there are two reconciliation bills a year,or , is next year a no-bill zone for legislating?

        I know Demicrats had cushy majorities in March 2010 when ACA passed, but, did people give up on it passing once the calendar flipped? Trump tried nixing it for all of 2017. Then the GOP/ Ryan pulled a switcheroo and railroaded tax cuts in Dec 2017. Why is it now or never now?

        The D establishment would be discredited. The left would just want to burn the whole party to the ground. And it would be very hard to argue against them.

        I think the answer is the intervening Trump Presidency. It’s the biggest sign that we are not well and danger is on the horizon.
