Should go through. Both sides play paddy cake too much though and instead of representing what’s in best interest of their constituents, there’s a good chance R’s will come together so Dems don’t get a win before midterms. R’s will say Dems put unrelated nonsense in the bill, like Dems will say government needs to buy $15b in free weed for everyone. Dems can never ever just help themselves. And so R’s will have a real point. But Dems will go on TV and say ohhh the R’s. But the truth is also the R’s will be looking for reasons to say no. And so it won’t be impossible to get all 50 R’s to agree. And I don’t think Manchin is a big fan of the weed. So it’ll be close in the Senate. This should have been done 6 years ago
