Suburban PA voter: “I honestly cannot believe I am saying that, yet Biden has given me no reason to support him. He has not brought the country together as promised, he hasn’t even tried. He is mostly angry all of the time,” https://t.co/fgWORmHXJv

I’m rooting for Speaker Johnson, but it’s true he has little progress, border-wise, to show for his speakership (except blocking the crap Lankford bill). Again: Why not pick just one (1) popular provision of HR2, staple it to Ukraine aid, send it to the Senate & send House home?

A more subtle worry is whether this work, even if it doesn’t require a degree, will still be skills-biased, creating a non-college economic hierarchy that fails create much opportunity for people without those skills who still need jobs.

One Biden/Yellen theme that is relatively fresh is “creating economic opportunity for Americans regardless of…whether they have college degrees.” But the jury is still out on whether Biden’s policies (trade, CHIPs, Infrastructure, etc.) will actually have this effect.

Janet Yellen’s “vision”: A bunch of little subsidy programs for college, housing, child care, etc. Some lower drug prices, taxes on the rich and a no-work dole. This seems like pre-Clinton, Carter era vision–unsatisfying at the time, unsatisfying now. https://t.co/5CedPJyx6o

Biden says he set a goal “that half of all new cars and trucks sold in 2030 would be zero-emissions.” He now says “we’ll meet my goal.” But he’s relaxed rules so the EV sales ramp-up comes “only after 2030.” How will he meet his goal? He won’t, that’s how https://t.co/V7ylMQ5Qd8
