Pelosi Tells Democrats to Downsize Ambitions

“Democrats in both chambers are now eyeing a price tag in the roughly $2 trillion range, down from the initial $3.5 trillion,” Politico reports.

“Pelosi held a call with leadership and committee chairs today that broached one of the trickiest questions the party faces — whether to prioritize as many new programs as possible in the bill, even if they don’t last long, or to narrow the bill’s scope and focus on cementing the legacy of new programs.”

Said Pelosi: “The theme among members is to do fewer things better.”
