I felt that Biden was constrained too much by the promises he had made to the progressive wing of the party. He lost focus on things like inflation to waste months on BBB which was never going to pass. Then he passed the IRA in summer which had very little to actually do with inflation. The student loan forgiveness was useless as it did nothing to bring down costs longer term. If anything expectations of future forgiveness will just push up college costs even more.Randomizer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 12:40 amWe've had such good results with the last four years of divided power. The Senate filibustered most legislation that couldn't be passed by a simple majority. Just passing an annual budget required parliamentary trickery.flash2015 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 09, 2022 8:28 pmDivided government...both sides will need to compromise to get anything done. Largely no BS complaints of voter fraud. It has been a quiet day.
Also Trump didn't have a good night vs. DeSantis which is awesome. I am not a fan of DeSantis but at least he is rational and level headed. Trump is a narcissistic, grievance-driven baby.
Some Democrats are hoping the Republicans take the House so after two years of seeing how little interest they have in fixing things, they will be overwhelmingly voted out.

The budget deficit is completely out of control and completely unsustainable, especially with interest rates rising rapidly. I am hoping that divided government may mean that there will be more pressure to rein this deficit in.
The Senate is of course more important than the House. I want the Democrats to hold the Senate...as a loss here may make it difficult for them to get it back until at least 2028.
