Just wanted to use this thread to laugh at the Democrats passing mandatory alcolocks for cars with their "infrastructure" tax break bill, for no other reason than to make people angry at Democrats over their nanny-state tendencies. Gotta lessen the impact of your own legislation as much as possible!

“lessen the impact” implies that this won’t be the only part of the legislation that voters can discern directly affecting their own lives

If you take public transportation then you don't need car insurance. It's almost like there's no lobbying for public goods and I can't figure out why.

Seems like a really stupid feature that no one wants that is going to be trivially easy for anyone to campaign against and even if is never implemented will be pointed to as an example of stupid poo poo being done at the behest of lobbyists with no consideration for real world impacts.

some tech shithead will bribe them to mandate his fancy new solution which doesn't actually work at all, randomly breaks and costs several hundred dollars to fix, and will cause you to fail inspection if it's out

In my state the dem governor put in vehicle inspection stations in the 90s and the next time a gop governor got in they were all torn down and that was the last of that

Can't believe spending 2% of GDP on actually helping Americans caused a huge spike in inflation - not just in the US but worldwide, somehow!!! drat guys we'd better be careful with all this "government spending" and "helping people" stuff!

Biden's argument was being framed by a hostile reporter and was more like "the economy is HOT HOT HOT since we sent out these checks so hey, there's a little inflation, we'll deal with it!" which isn't quite as directly an own goal, but it is like turning the ball over directly to an attacker standing right in front of your net. It also both minimizes people who are still struggling and links government spending directly to inflation, which people are absolutely psychotically vigilant about. (People even complain about inflation when it's low, so when it's actually high, yikes.)

It would take a lot more talent and imagination than even a young Joe Biden had to avoid massive a massive public backlash in that scenario and obviously old, decrepit Joe isn't even close to up to it. See thread title.

Yes it will also be the last because democrats will lose as hard as is possible and then the GOP will just outlaw the Dems.
