Conditional liberalism at its best

I have noticed over these many years that a liberal agenda feels good as long as I,WE are not paying for it. Kind of a “not in my back yard.” The liberal city council of past were replaced by a conservative council due to allowing the homeless problem to fester and become not just a homeless problem but a disgraceful destruction of our parks and downtown area. Nobody wanted them in THEIR back yard, or park.

The conservative council will do what it can by law and mandate to, hopefully, solve this problem. If not the council may turn back to the liberal side. I see this playing out in the national side as $3.5 trillion will bring in two new conservative Senators, no matter how much good the money may do. Then the Senate will be conservative and the House has less than a 5-seat majority with 20 seats up for grabs in one year. To push such a feel good budget and call it “infrastructure” is a farce the people will not tolerate and do not wish to pay for.

A Republican House and Senate will destroy all the feelgood programs the Democrats wish for. The same happened to the Chico city council.
