I cannot help wondering, what all those brainwashed USAians think is so horrible about what the Biden administration is trying to achieve.

They managed to get the infrastructure bill passed, despite every single GOP idiot voting against it. But then of course going home they all tried to take credit for it, because they all knew it was a very popular bill -- even amongst their faithful followers.

But then came the Build Back Better Bill. A bill that even 20 Nobel Price winners in a combined statement said would not even be a cost, but an investment. Unlike the 1.9 billion (trillion in US maths) bill four years earlier that was a total expense.

And suddenly even two dems voted against it? How's that for corruption, now?

So, why don't you Leftist haters give this European Leftist a clue as to what in the BBBB was so bad. After all, we've all had this done many many decades ago, and have enjoyed it ever since. So, what are you so afraid of?

Pick any point of your choice, and tell us what's so bad about it. Any point from 1 to 20. Please!
