Legislative Process Doesn’t Matter In the End

Jonathan Last points out that if the infrastructure and budget reconciliation legislation pending in Congress passes, none of the messiness will turn out to matter “because it’s process. And voters do not care about process. Ever.”

“Only two things will matter to voters:

• Did the legislation pass?
• Can they be convinced after the fact that the legislation made their own lives better in some tangible way?”

“Everything else is moot.”
