Progressives say go big and make life hard for GOP [View all]
Progressives have a new argument for why their push for a broad array of social benefit programs is the right approach for President Biden and Democrats: It will put Republicans in a prickly spot if they fight to end the benefits down the road.
Liberals maintain that once voters receive federal perks like expanded child tax credits and Medicare, family leave and free college tuition, they will demand that Congress extend those benefits when it comes time for them to sunset.
They point to former President Obama's Affordable Care Act as the blueprint.
That bill was unpopular when it passed but became politically difficult for Republicans to unwind, even when they held the White House and both chambers of Congress.
