OPINION:
President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better bonanza, a palimpsest of his hero FDR’s Great Depression rescue, has staggered to a narrow victory in the House. It now confronts a problematic obstacle course in the Senate, the world’s greatest deliberative body.
Well, sir, let’s see about that. Let’s find out if Democratic senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin will walk all the talk that has excited realists in the body politic — or will fold under Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s entreaties for team play, 2022-midterm fealty and Joe Biden rah-rah folderol.
Will there be profiles in courage or an embarrassing collapse to invertebrate status?
