    That might be, but sadly most Democrats also voted for this.

    That’s the only way it was even able to clear both the house and senate, then it had to be willingly signed by Biden.

    They can work together when it appeases their donors, but at no other time.

      but sadly most Democrats also voted for this.

      while Republicans and democrats both had their hands in crafting this law, when it was time to vote for the final law to be passed by the hoyse, most republican reps voted for in favor for it. check out chatgpts’ third citation in my comment"

      unless I am misinterpreting this data, this was widely voted for by Republicans to pass and not by democrats, right?

        Maybe in the house. Now go look at the senate voting records and remember bills don’t become law in the US until either the President signs it (which Biden did) or congress overrides a Presidential veto with 2/3 majority.
