It's also about an insane echelon of elite media that is totally indifferent to the basic facts of the people they lift up. She got a vasoline-lensed feature profile in the NYT weeks ago!

And to be clear, most Dem-leaning pundits *also* discuss the bogieman rather than the reality. They are so far up the ass of DC conventional wisdom that the bogieman is more real than the reality to them. It's more real to *everyone* at this point.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Utterly bizarre to describe climate change policy as some kind of radical-left albatross.
The IRA contained precisely the kind of 'kitchen table' programs everyone says Democrats should focus on — and they're popular!
The problem was that Americans *didn't know* what the IRA was or who passed it.
