The stimulus bill was intended to put $1.9 trillion into the hands of Americans/states/the country in the next few years. Some of the spending in this reconciliation bill is scheduled for 2031. (Which is why the Manchin inflation op-ed was so odd.) https://t.co/iRmQwkyrRJ — PolitiTweet.org

Congressional Democrats have some incentive to hype the spending ("We are doing things!"). So do Republicans ("socialism"). But $350 billion a year in the context of around $5 trillion yearly in total federal spending is big but perhaps not super-dramatic. — PolitiTweet.org
