Online Public Relations Thoughts

The bipartisan infrastructure deal was passed in Congress while the world was watching. Could the proponent of Democracy and wealthiest country agree on a bill to "build back better?"  If not, what does that say about the government we trumpet?  The earth today is suffering from authoritarian rulers who have given up or never liked democracy and its messy process.  Their message is that dictatorial rule is better and citizens must toe the line set by the government.  The Republican and Democratic senators who forged a bill that all could sign onto showed that talking does work and can cross party lines. Biden's support for the effort was unstinting and a reflection of his own time in the Senate when one could still talk to the other side and pass legislation.  It is a strong message to other countries that putting in the work to compromise is still the better way to operate.
