$3.5T over 10 years

is 1.3% of projected GDP.

Doesnt work this way but child tax credits, child care, pre-K, climate measures aren’t worth paying 1.3% more taxes or having you retirement account go down that much?

Actually a part of the ultimate battle to establish that the only public goods are corporate and farm welfare.

Once the dems pass it they'll have an accomplishment to run on.

“The economy” is better than one year ago by every possible measure.

The “stonks market” too.

[sdholloway56]

Farm prices as well.

[r3020]

Gas prices as well. Something easy to understand.

Apparently you liked it better when car miles were down 50%?

   5.84 x more for gasoline than electricity in the exact same vehicle with the exact same driving pattern.

Maintenance costs are less as well.  A friend's much older electric vehicle needed some attention, the technician came to her house, checked which cells need to be replaced, charged her $200.  Runs as good as new.  You can't buy a new lead-acid battery for less than $100. What's a cheap oil change, $20 bucks? 

  So, who's the sucker, now?

Rick, you’re right on with cost of the electric.   My Jeep Grand Cherokee though, with gas at $2.50, is more like 16 cents per mile.

I love my new Leaf.   We are getting well over 200 miles per charge - it has taken ALL the local trips - ie, less than 75 miles one way - and, we are considering taking it when we go to visit my son 250 miles away, using a new 3 phase 480 volt charging station (free to charge by the way) that we saw along our route when we visited a few weeks ago.   A half hour charge on that station, gives us about 80 miles, plenty to get to my sons, charge, and give it another boost on the way home.  

Electric is the way of the future.  No doubt about it.

Explain in 100 words or less which policies of the current administration created the enormous global supply chain snafu?

In fairness, neither did the previous one. 

That even if you could, like Sammy, create a fantasyland where the pandemic doesn't created havoc.
