SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

WELCOME TO THE PAST – FROM DAILY MAIL:    Joe Biden's commitment to blue collar workers has been called into question after his infrastructure tsar listed climate change and equity before mentioning helping industrial workers in a new interview.   Speaking on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Wednesday, as Biden flew to Kansas City to promote the $1.2 trillion bill, Landrieu said he had met personally with 30 mayors and had reached out to every governor in the US to discuss the infrastructure plan.  'What the president's asking us to do is use this policy to rebuild the country,' Landrieu said. 'This is a three, five, ten-year proposal...Look, we're going to build a better America'   'We need to think about climate. For those of us that are from the south, we know this really, really well. Of course resilience, and building back in a way that's stronger and better.  'Also, for communities that have been left out, he said secondly, equity is critically important. We cannot leave anybody behind,' the former Mayor of New Orleans said  Landrieu continued: 'Third, blue-collar jobs, so he wants labor involved in this in a big way with workforce training. And then he said he wants to rebuild America's industrial base by investing in Made in America products.'  Yeah, right.  Put the actual working people third.  Put the fashionable issues first and second.  Great way to lose the next election.
