The Build Back Better deal a.k.a. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin reached is better than anyone could have imagined and is a big victory by Democrats for the American people.
This is a form of government not of, by and for the people, but one against the people. This is the government the Republican Party, the Supreme Court it built, and Trump are delivering.
We can’t really judge or evaluate Biden’s meeting with MBS without properly assessing the outright and serious threats to democracy and to overall global well-being and survival the world is now facing.
Media coverage blinds us to the fact that Biden’s Build Back Better plan contained the very policies that promise to move the U.S. economy in a more democratic direction and to address in fundamental ways economic inequality and the high costs of living Americans face.
Democrats need to focus intensely on loudly telling the story of what life in America will really be like if Republicans rule.
Want to stop autocracy? Want relief from inflation?
Democracy is the theory of everything.

Biden and the Democrats need to counter with the very true narrative that electing Republicans will hurt Americans
Speaker Nancy Pelosi took Sen. Joe Manchin to school by explaining why the rise in inflation has nothing to do with Build Back Better.
This amnesia threatens to push Americans back to the authoritarianism we so narrowly escaped--by a hair!--in the 2020 election.
The ongoing public negotiation among Manchin, Biden, and progressive Democrats has made clear that Manchin has been trafficking the same old stale misinformation fiscal conservatives have been peddling for ages.
Manchin’s betrayal has created an opening, an opportunity for Democrats to spur a much broader profound and urgent reflection on which party is seeking to serve to their interests.
The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) on Monday urged Manchin to revisit his rejection of the planning, highlighting the inclusion in the bill of two key provisions.

“The president requested more time to continue his negotiations and so we will keep working with him, hand in hand, to bring this bill over the finish line and deliver on these much-needed provisions,” Schumer said.
Speaker Pelosi unloaded on Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for coming up with a CBO score for a Build Back Better bill that doesn't exist.
This type of coverage of the mere politics, as opposed to the underlying reality of inflation, constitutes in its own right a kind of disinformation campaign that risks turning working-class and middle-class voters back to the very Republican Party.
Build Back Better would be the largest expansion of health insurance coverage since Obamacare in 2010.

We see the media and many Americans giving the Republicans, who engage in abusive behavior by refusing to do anything to help Americans in need, a free pass while blaming the Democrats.
