Infrastructure was his literal slogan--build back better. Agree or disagree with it, but people voted for Biden knowing that this was going to be the centerpiece of his first term.
The Dems seem to have figured out what the GOP figured out a little while ago. When surveyed, huge majorities of voters claim to care about the deficit and bipartisanship. But no one actually votes based on those things.
If the GOP had decided to cut spending and raise taxes when they had power instead of increasing spending and cutting taxes, they would have lost even harder than they did in 2018 and 2020.
It's like people saying that a buffet should have lots of good fresh vegetable options. Everyone says that b/c it makes you feel good and virtuous for caring about health. But when we go to serve a plate, we all put on that symbolic one sprig of broccoli and then load up on triple helpings of chicken fried steak and hash browns with gravy.
