The infrastructure bill and Lina Khan are the only things I've noticed. I think someone I know got a Pell Grant and was helped by that possibly? But ya, too many of these things are so mean-tested and you have to jump through hoops to get them that so many people don't benefit that people end up not caring. It's the equivalent of saying you got so many a band-aid for multiple stab wounds. Ya I guess it's better than nothing but it's not going to stop the bleeding and it's definitely not good enough for the problems the country is facing and how people feel about it. The Democrats just blame the Republicans for being awful, and they are, but they also have an extremely limited imagination in what they promise and give. It ends up leading to the ratchet effect. The Republicans turn us right, and the Democrats only reverse a few things, so we end up more right than before. This trend isn't sustainable and this combination is why we're turning fascist today.
