A social policy 'framework' fails to secure a Biden victory - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The promise of two years of free community college would go unfulfilled, and the expanded child tax credit, passed in March to give most families a monthly check of up to $300 per child, would be extended only into 2023, not made permanent.
52% : The centerpiece of Biden's climate policy -- a measure to reward utilities for switching to renewable energy and to punish those that will not -- was stripped out at Manchin's insistence.
51% : The framework includes about $555 billion for programs to move Americans to electric vehicles and entice utilities away from natural gas and coal, representing what would be the largest federal investment in combating climate change.
49% : Among the provisions that survived were federal programs for home health care and community care for older Americans and people with disabilities; $150 billion for rental assistance, homebuying help, public housing repairs and other affordable housing programs; and a generous extension of subsidized health insurance under the Affordable Care Act to the working poor in 12 states that have refused to expand Medicaid under the health law.
