(#4644) Looks like the infrastructure bills will get done

      After yesterday's flurry of activity and soul crushing realization the human infrastructure bill will get a framework that will be depressingly modified. The size and scope of the bill will be reduced to a bare bones scenario but it will still be a formidable achievement despite the self inflicted wounds two democrats inflicted on it. I will get over my bitterness aimed at Senators Manchin and Sinema eventually but for now the anger is palpable with me. The American people deserve better when we can do better and this ain't it! However, the fact that it appears likely now that both infrastructure bills will become law makes for a glimmer of hope that eventually, in the coming couple of years we can do better.
     There is still the police reform bill, the voting rights protections bill, and immigration reform that need immediate attention and once these infrastructure bills are accomplished the next phase of getting more legislation done becomes imperative. Foremost above anything President Biden can pass into law is the voter protection bill. Nothing is more important than securing the rights of all eligible citizens the right to vote. The multiple state republican barrage against vulnerable voters is disgusting and disgraceful so a national voting rights protection law is paramount. Nothing in a democracy is more important than the right to vote, nothing!
     This coming election in 2022 is so vital to America if we want to make possible the Biden agenda. What we don't get done this year in the human infrastructure bill will surely be addressed after we grow our majorities in the House and Senate. Eliminating the filibuster and hopefully addressing the rigged imbalance on the supreme court will become major topics of discussion and action. Our modern society with democratic values cemented into law has to be our goal for the long term future. There is nothing that republicans would offer to help our society; instead they would misinform and divert from including all of us to the promise of the pursuit of happiness.
