Surrender Joe and his Democratic Party Comrades have spent most of the time since Joe was inaugurated pushing their infrastructure bill which includes very little for actual infrastructure and their Big Agenda bill, meant to change America and put the government even more, way more, in control of citizens lives than before. How’s that working out?
Biden, Democrats failing to sell agenda to American people: POLL
Negotiations on the infrastructure and social program bills have consumed Capitol Hill for months. Still, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll out Sunday finds Democrats are failing to sell the legislation to the public, who are broadly unaware of what is in the spending packages or skeptical they would help people like themselves, or the economy, if signed into law.
President Joe Biden was unable to secure a legislative win before departing on his second foreign trip since taking office, even after he laid out a framework for the package focused on social programs and climate change around which he believes Democrats can rally. He pitched that package, which no longer includes paid family and medical leave or free community college, as a “historic economic” opportunity on Thursday, but this poll reflects the continued confusion and intraparty mistrust over these bills.
Although a majority (55%) of the public is following news about the negotiations at least somewhat closely, about 7 in 10 (69%) Americans said they know just some or little to nothing about what’s in both bills. Fewer than half (31%) said they know a great deal or good amount. Despite Republicans having sat on the sidelines while the White House works exclusively with congressional Democrats to get both bills to the president’s desk, the lack of knowledge extends across all parties.
It’s hard to know what’s actually in the bills when they are both massive, both contain way too much stuff, especially what used to be $6 trillion, then $3.5 trillion bill, and now about $1.75 trillion, because they have mostly failed to provide text of the bills, they are hard to read, and the Credentialed Media has failed to do their job in digging deep into the frameworks. They put this all together in secret, leaving Republicans out, despite barely hold a majority in the House and being 50-50 in the Senate
Americans also do not feel like these bills would help them or the U.S. economy if they become law.
The ABC News/Ipsos poll, which was conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel, found that a plurality (32%) of Americans think the bills would hurt people like them if they became law, while fewer (25%) think it would help them. Nearly 2 in 10 (18%) think the bills would make no difference, and 24% said they didn’t know.
Oops? Complete messaging failure.
Even among Democrats alone, fewer than half (47%) think the two bills would help people like them. A quarter of Democrats think the bills would make no difference for people like them and about 2 in 10 (22%) don’t know how they would impact their lives. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Republicans think the bills would hurt people like them, and so do about 3 in 10 (29%) independents.
Put that way, it’s even worse.
The American public is evenly divided — 34% to 34% — over whether they believe these bills would help or hurt the U.S. economy if they become law. Very few (6%) think the bills would have no effect on the economy, and a quarter don’t know. Democrats are much more likely to think the legislation would help the economy if enacted than Republicans and independents, 68% compared with 7% and 29%, respectively.
That number for Independents does not bode well for the mid-terms, eh? But, we know the Democrats won’t give up. They’ll keep focusing on their Crazy agenda, rather than attempting to do stuff that will actually help the post-Chinese coronavirus recovery. They see a chance to remake America, and won’t stop. They’ll continue to divide America. Republican states will sue. Things will get bogged down. And we will get closer to that Big Split, which is really no longer a conspiracy theory.
Do not let me speak for the Chinese. Let them speak for themselves and they do not publish stuff without the explicit approval of the Communist Party that runs the country.
With the backdrop of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) constant promises to the gullible West that it will control its greenhouse gas emissions:
This article quoted the CCP’s secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission, Zhao Chenxin:
“China will ensure that coal and electricity supplies for the winter season and next spring will be sufficient.” The article noted that the secretary-general said “…coal mines with the potential to increase output will be urged to tap into their production capacity as soon as possible, and approved and basically completed open-pit coal mines will be encouraged to begin operations.”
China says they are canceling coal plants but are not. They just say what the west and the AGW crowd want to hear.
The USA has reduced its carbon footprint more than any other industrialized nation in the last 20 years. Yet we are evil.
But, but, but, the profane Mr Dowd and the Hirsute One have been assuring us that this is what the American people want!
The modern media covers fights but not policy since the money is in the conflict!
The people wanted out of Afghanistan and Traitor Don couldn’t do it, but President Biden did.
The people want the infrastructure upgraded but the GOPhers oppose it. The people want healthcare reform but the GOPhers oppose it. The people want tax reform but the GOPhers oppose it. The people want family leave but the GOPhers oppose it. The people want help on drug prices but the GOPhers oppose it. Americans are concerned about global warming but GOPhers call it a hoax. Americans want to end the pandemic but GOPhers want to keep it going. The GOPhers want chaos and anarchy now so they can form their white christian nation later.
