Sure, but it doesn't seem any are in national office. In the context of "Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden" wanting to keep "plans" away, it would seem that those plans would have to have some amount of publicity to begin with. There are an absurd number of plans by those not in office that have no publicity, and thus would be unknowable to the reader. That's why I was asking for clarification.

Right, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, and similar, want to do their best to keep anyone with such plans out of power, and make sure they do not threaten the power of those in power. That's all I'm saying.

The comment at the top here was "I'd say that the reason for doing this was to discredit left leaning economic policy for another 40 years, like happened after the stagflation of the 70s."

Yeah, and I don't understand what plans are being avoided. If anything it seems the extended unemployment, advanced tax credits, etc seems to have paved the way for UBI, etc. Sure, the conservative side is against it, but once Rome starts handing out free bread... once constituents realize they hold the keys to the coffers... assistance programs only grow... When people are getting something out of it, that's an entirely different dynamic than stagflation.
