6. Some Americans do want chaos

Or, at least they think they do. I think the Democratic Party, and, in fact, both parties should be united against chaos. It doesn't help anyone. And the people that it hurts are always the people who can least afford it.

I really don't see our leverage in this situation. I know that a lot of folks think that the elimination of the Obamacare premium tax credits in the BBB will "make people see that Republicans have screwed them over."

But no, I don't think it will work out that way. It's premature. In my opinion, we should have started kicking and screaming about that closer to the election next year.

Right now, fill in the blank with what Republicans will do with it. I'd elaborate but you can use your own imagination. (When I try to explain Republican chicanery, I get reported for explaining Republican chicanery!)
