Barone: A tale of two airlifts

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The city's 2.5 million people had only 36 days' supply of food and 45 days' supply of coal.
53% : Berlin was supplied with food and coal over the winter, and in May 1949, the Soviets called off the blockade.
45% : Meanwhile, polls suggest minimal appeal for the Biden Democrats' proposals to vastly increase federal spending, including reinstituting the old welfare-without-work-requirements that were renounced back in the (Bill) Clinton years.
36% : That's apparent also at the southern border, with the most illegal border crossings in 21 years in one major city after another; with homicides rising more than in any year since 1960; with supposedly "transitory" inflation wiping out wage increases.
