Agreed. But a half a billion is a half a billion. And that’s just the Kochs’ machine.
There’s also that issue of a lot of people feeling a few extra bucks in their checks as withholding has been adjusted.
Ty is right that angry white folks like to talk about social issues. (If I have to listen to another old white codger bitch about the NFL knee thing...). But the people the Dems need to energize, outside the blue states, are the Democratic working class. My suspicion is, these people can be bought off enough to become apathetic, and a small bump in the paycheck, or an increase in their standard deduction that doesn’t make renting seem like such a shaft, might do the trick.
