From WSJopinion: Progressives know that entitlements, once created, are almost impossible to repeal. The real sticker shock will come later, after the programs are on autopilot.
Progressives are finally admitting they’ll have to trim the top-line cost of their reconciliation bill to a number closer to Sen. Joe Manchin’s ceiling of $1.5 trillion. But reality still hasn’t sunk in enough that they’re willing to kill any new entitlement programs.
Their thinking was on display in force on Sunday. Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal told CNN that the left is focused on “what is the way that we can get all of the critical programs that we had identified [child care, paid leave] . . . but perhaps for a shorter period of time, and be able to get then to the number from that.”
