Consider what the've lived thru as legislators the past 4 yrs, & in just 6 months they prepared & presented this most amazing proposal.

I honestly can not imagine how it all came together as it did. The long hours of details, statistics & small steps.

It's simply rather astonishing isn't it!

💙👍🍨

We've been so beaten down, and then they hand us THIS!

Geez, we are such a fortunate mix aren't we.

It's still such early days in this new administration and it's amazing how quickly certain issues have been completely turned around! First, there was the vaccine! We went through an entire year in fear with no hope and within weeks of the Biden inauguration, the vaccine was on offer! I'm just an ordinary person, but I was able to get vaccinated in March! It began being available nationwide!

And now this amazing and historic plan is on offer - the Democrats worked incredibly hard to bring this all together! Things are finally looking up in this country - in only half a year!
