Five and Spondimental Problem is he's trying to push Bernie Sanders agenda and the country didn't elect Bernie Sanders.

That's his problem, fundamentally. His ambitions exceed his mandate. I think Harold Ford is right. He's got a 50-50 Senate.

He's got a small majority in the House and he needs an agenda that matches that.

And so about $5 trillion worth of stuff is still out there and going to be voted on sometime this month.

Most Democrats even think the $1.3.5 trillion thing is going to come down.

But even if it comes down to $2 trillion, it adds up to $3.5 trillion with the other one and that's insane because we're broke and have been broke for a very long time.

Well, my whole life, really, but like really, really, really broke and we already spent $6 trillion during the pandemic and we're going to spend another three and a half minimum.

Yeah, good.

Anyway, or are we? I just don't know where it's going to go because so much of this is not about actually passing the legislation anyway.

It's just to be seen fighting for it. It's branding. It's performative.

One trillion mark. A trillion minutes ago, homo sapiens had not even appeared on Earth yet. One trillion minutes ago.

Wow. Wow. One trillion hours ago, T. Racks and Triceratops were still going strong. A trillion days ago, the first life on the planet had only just appeared and it was all single-celled organisms, a trillion days ago.

Because nobody can wrap their head around a trillion dollars. So as he says here, one trillion is a lot and 3.5 trillion in cash would make a pile of money that would weigh as much as 40 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.

Is he using one dollar bills because that's just silly. I mean, surely at least you go to the ATM and get $25 million.

Anyway, 500 billion 20s. The build back better plan. That's what it's called. A lot of Americans don't know what it is according to a new CBS poll.

Now, the lefty media is liking this poll because they're making the argument that, hey, it's just a messaging problem. If we could get our act together on the messaging, I think we could sell this thing to people.

It's just that people don't know. They would love it if they actually knew what it was.

You find the information here? This is the greatest country on earth. We must change it fundamentally.

Right.

Only 10% of Americans described themselves as knowing a lot about specific things that are in the build back better plan.
