But even this way of talking about the fissures in the party makes them sound too neat and tidy. You have highly educated very progressive urban professionals whose views often align with left-wing activists, who want to push policy as far left as they can. You have large numbers of suburban voters, many of whom are more moderate on policy, and some of whom used to be Republicans, found Donald Trump personally repulsive, and began voting blue as a result. These voters are broadly supportive of the new administration but don’t necessarily want to see a massive expansion of government spending. Then there are culturally conservative but economically populist voters, notably in the Midwest, who are nonetheless somewhat receptive to Republican warnings about the imposition of “socialism” and the threat of urban unrest.
The idea that we hoopla Biden's plan through the Senate is ludicrous. If fact we can model the imbalance numerically and define a revenue sharing market to minimize it.
But we will try in vain the hoopla, cheer leading method for a few months. One can blame ignorant economists for the hoopla nonsense.
