This wasn't the only alternative. Biden could have attempted to use the 14th amendment.

Always love drawing an equivalence between people who want to reduce inequality in the world and literal Nazis. No historical precedent of anything bad happening when centrists do that.

It is. Literally.

There is still lots to enjoy in life for most people.
If you're wealthy and able-bodied enough, yes.

Unfortunately the republicans control the house, so they are going to get some concessions.
Weird that the Democrats also had to give concessions when they controlled the House. Also weird that they never force Republicans into concessions.

The democrats working with the more moderate republicans has almost completely neutered the far right freedom caucus, and that is a positive development.
No, they haven't. They caved to the threat of the freedom caucus, and now millions of Americans will suffer as a result.

Also, imagine thinking "no net new discretionary spending" is a "moderate" position, regardless if it's Democrat or Republican.
