Quick Summary

This opinion piece argues that the Democrats lack a mandate to enact their agenda despite winning the 2020 election. The author claims that President Joe Biden and his party fumbled a "slam-dunk recovery" by passing a large, ideologically motivated spending bill while inflation was rising. The piece characterizes these legislative actions as crony spending rather than a successful response to the pressing economic issues facing voters.
