  • There's a lot to unpack in the House-passed Build Back Better Act-from its investments in child care to how it lowers health care costs while saving taxpayer dollars.
    On Wednesday, December 1st, Rep. Katie Porter used her whiteboard to break down what's in the bill and how it helps families.

    This is great. I wish every presidency had scorecard for what was achieved and minimum requirements, like we all have to meet for our jobs. This build back better bill has done more in the first year of Biden's presidency that other presidents have done in 4-8 years. Keep it up Katie, we appreciate you.

      You are right .
      I have never understood why any of our Representatives in the senate or the house should be able to stand there and say they do not know what is in a bill they make $174,000 a year they should at least be able to do a little bit of reading for their constituents. A paperback book has 490 something pages in it. you would think to read a freaking bill that that should be part of their job. I see them all the time get up there and give their speeches and say totally incorrect things that are not in the bill or else misrepresent the things that are in the bill it's just straight-up ignorant. It's really upsetting to me that I would know more of what's in the build back better bill then Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren boebert and even some Democrats that I've heard have gotten the contents of that bill wrong sorry for the rant, it's just beyond belief.

    First thought: Hopefully, particularly in California where this is rampant, prisoners who are used as firefighters will benefit from the increased wage instead of being paid nearly nothing (like $1/hr) and that since they now have experience with this type of work can be hired by fire fighting departments despite their previous incarceration.
    Also, hopefully, universal pre-K will help develop more socially-adjusted children rather than just more competitive ones.
    Housing . . . re-purpose abandoned shopping malls and strips into affordable housing units. The buildings are already built, plumbed and wired. In my town and many others, there are also a lot of empty buildings that once housed other types of businesses that could be used.

    It is unconscionable that Medicare coverage for dental and vision were cut. Caving to vote for the BIF without BBB was a huge mistake. Now, with zero leverage in the Senate, I would be shocked if many more of these blocks survive Republican Senators Manchin and Sinema. And even then there is no guarantee that they'd vote for it still. They got the big corporate giveaways they wanted with BIF.

    Now that we've taken care of families and communities, May We Please focus on our elders. $639. a month from Social Security is social poverty, a financial prison. The base minimum for those with no pension or other income seriously needs to be increased. $639. a month doesn't allow for vehicle insurance, so we lose the independence of being able to transport ourselves to the store etc. If something goes wrong on our home it leaves nothing for repairs. It's like we're being forced out of our homes that we spent a lifetime working and paying for.

      The Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is $794 (with a COLA in Jan). If someone has $639 Soc Sec, that is probably Social Security Disability or Soc Sec Retirement and their Medicare premium is being taken out of it. Medicaid (which is quasi State and Federal) in nearly every state will cover the Medicare premiums (program is called Qualified Medicare Beneficiary~QMB), so that the person has at least $794 take-home.
      So if you know a disabled or retired person who is not currently utilizing this benefit, please help them to apply.
