It is odd that legislation that helps the wealthy is sustainable, affordable and "good for the country" but programs that support the rest of us will tank the economy and lead to entitlement. Read the opening of this sentence for the irony of that statement.
John Oliver is a British born (now an American citizen) who is not only a marvelous comedian, but a very droll and intelligent political commentator. Considering the wrangling over passing legislation that would, oh I don't know, help most Americans, he made a very astute comment which should embarrass and expose all of us. (Besides Senators Manchin and Sinema).
"I'm not sure what stage of capitalism we've reached if we're now kayaking out to a politician's yacht (Manchin's) to beg him to help the poor, but it's gotta be one of the last ones"
