in 2022 is true, I am not sure where that leaves us or the programs Biden, Pelosi, Schumer et. al. worked so hard to pass. I also question whether the money will really get to areas "left behind" or meaningfully re-engage the disaffected. If it does, it will likely be too late for the 2022 mid terms and maybe not even be of effect in 2024 to the point of raising Dem election chances. I am very afraid it is too little, too late and too temporary. Which is a worrying place for progressive ideals, the Dems and the country. And oh, would I love to be wrong!
