Is the $3.5 trillion reconcilation resolution enough?

Krystal Ball comments on Richard Wolff, who was asked if assuming everything that's in Bernie's resolution ends up in the final legislation, is it enough? Wolff said given the severity of the climate crisis as attested to by the recent IPCC report: No, it is not. We really need a radically transformative new New Deal.

So yes, we need to get that bigger package passed with as much of the original proposals in it. And it's a start to more of what we need going forward. It at least shows us voters that Congress is trying, which inspires us to keep voting for them. But it also shows us that we need to keep voting in progressives who are willing to go all in on what we need to avert climate disaster. And to do that we need the sort of constructive criticism that acknowledges this effort but also requires the necessity of so much more.
