While the Biden COVID relief bill is extremely popular, the Biden Administration and Dems need to start a full-court press in the months and years ahead to publicize the benefits the public is getting from the relief bill, and not just the one-time checks. Moreover, since the shameless Republicans are already starting to claim credit for a bill they voted against -- like the dishonorable Sen. Roger Wicker (Seditionist-MS) -- the public needs to be reminded over and over that the relief bill passed without a single Republican vote in either the House or the Senate. Use videos of their demagogic language ("socialism", "blue state bailout") and throw it back in their faces especially in the months leading up to the 2022 and 2024 elections. There are plenty of ideas about selling the benefits of the bill, and the administration is already planning a robust campaign to lock in public support. The resources in this bill will give people their lives, their businesses, their public schools, and their health back. It was thanks to the Democrats only
As a reminder, it's being pointed out that the Obama Administration didn't "sell" the 2009 stimulus to the public, which saved the auto industry and stabilized the housing market among other things, and set the stage for 7 years of growth and employment. The same could be said for the Affordable Care Act, which gave affordable health insurance to millions for the first time, and expanded Medicaid. In both cases, the Republicans' dishonest counter messaging gave them the majority in the House, resulting in the sabotage of the rest of Obama's agenda. That can't be allowed to happen again. Fortunately, it looks like the Democrats have learned their lessons well.
