SaysWho? Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Biden's September speech is going to include the Inflation Reduction Act and all other accomplishments that are helping Americans. They're really trying to turn the tides for the midterms: Joe Biden got the vibe shift he needed. Now he's looking to make it count. WWW.CNN.COM Pete Buttigieg wasn't quite feeling it. Quote Before they cautioned Buttigieg against going too hard, Biden's aides had been planning his own big speech at the end of July, in Wisconsin -- until aides to Gov. Tony Evers, who's in a tight reelection fight, urged him not to come so they could avoid being together. White House aides had decided to go through with it anyway, until they realized that the necessary security measures would force them to cancel the local favorite Oshkosh Air Show. Now that big Biden speech is being planned for shortly after Labor Day. Aides are preparing a hard-hitting kick off for midterm campaigning, with the President touting tangible, long-talked-about wins like lowering prescription drug costs and gun restrictions while hammering Republicans for being extremists who are in the pocket of special interests. If you're wondering why Pete Buttigieg is in that blurb, it's behind the scenes stuff talked about at the beginning of the article. REALLY good read, the whole thing.

SaysWho? Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 6 hours ago, Jason said: So was 2022. I think he's just saying that it's possible it wasn't a "super majority" because two independents rounded it out, even though they caucused with Democrats, whereas previous majorities had 60+ straight-up Democrats. Plus, they didn't have 60 seats the whole time. Specter switched parties in April, but Franken still wasn't officially the winner yet. Franken finally took his seat July 7, and Robert Byrd died in June and was replaced mid-July. So then they finally had the 60 seats, but Ted Kennedy died in August and was replaced in September. So at that point, they had that "super" majority for a few months until Scott Brown won as a Republican and took over early 2010. Either way, I think we can agree that the Democratic composition in the Senate had more conservative Democrats, like Conrad, Baucus, Ben Nelson, Dorgan, and Goodwin, plus Lieberman as an independent. So even when they had 60, they really didn't. And unlike the times when they had a supermajority decades ago, they had no Republican crossover votes.

Guest Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 It turns out that the government works when they want it to.

Jason Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I was just idly poking around at a couple of Chevy dealers' websites and it looks like at least initially the 2023 Bolts are coming in at the lowered $26k MSRP. I think the new tax credit eligibility for manufacturers that had gone over the old vehicles sold cap isn't until 1/1/2023, so we'll see if the lowered MSRP holds up as the new eligibility kicks in, but if you're looking to lease instead of buy it's still a good time to look potentially since with the 2022s the MSRP was $32k and they got it down to $26k with $6k of customer cash that you were only eligible for if you were buying instead of leasing.
