@mekkaokereke @PJ_Evans I see you are under the disillusion that Senators and House members literally write the legislation instead of put forth whatever the DC policy wonks come up with? You know this isn't how it works and our elected officials barely have time to read legislation let alone author it themselves, get it checked by that OLC, coordinate with the CBO, etc etc. If Biden claims he wrote it he's lying unless someone has video of him putting pen to paper.

1. There was a problem

2. Both sides agreed on something drafted by people whose day job it is to craft legislation

3. Biden did his typical "reaching across the aisle" shtick and offered to put his name at the top and take the heat

4. It went nowhere and the next attempt had Strom as the top sponsor

THE END
