Many valuable plastic products and thousands of jobs could disappear nearly overnight if fool-hearted members of Congress have their way. They propose legislation that may have some laudable goals—particularly the desire to keep plastics out of the ocean—but their approach promises far-reaching and adverse economic and environmental impacts.

President Biden’s plan will undermine, not help, American families. Under this plan, the federal government takes more of Americans’ incomes and then redistributes the money in the form of benefits that politicians—not families—create, approve, and control. This would leave families with fewer opportunities and less control over their circumstances while failing to address the real problems in child care, education, family leave, and health care. Lawmakers who want to help families should reject the leftist laundry list in the American Families Plan and support family formation and stability. Eliminating marriage penalties in our welfare system, encouraging flexibility in work and child care, and offering more education options and access to better private health plans are good starts.

At some point, the pandemic — the provisional and practical judgments in favor of caution that can justify restrictive behaviors — became an unshakeable moral purpose. Actual weighing of risks went out the window: There’s a deadly disease out there; my actions can contribute to the end of the disease or to its spreading in perpetuity. It’s as if a circuit has been fused. While caution and restrictive behavior can be justified by a conscience informed by the risks, the human mind can also make calculations based on superstition. And one frighteningly common one is the equation of science with truth, fear with realism, and caution with virtue.

Psst. Don’t tell anyone but the Senate is passing bills and Biden has been signing them.
Coming up that short is more likely to demoralize Democrats than punish Republicans. This may explain why Schumer is delaying confrontation, not courting it. Schumer’s calculation is parallel to McConnell’s. As McConnell appears worried Republicans would shoulder the blame for petty obstruction of small bills, Schumer appears worried Democrats would shoulder the blame for provoking filibusters on big bills.

Mr. Biden used his address to Congress last week to try to sell the American public on a huge far-left wish list of new spending and programs, including his “American Jobs Plan.” Infrastructure has been commonly understood to mean projects like roads and bridges. In fact, we’re being sold this massive bill because we’ve been told for years that our roads and bridges are crumbling all around us. Yet, in Biden’s budget-busting $2.25 trillion plan, less than 5 percent of those dollars actually get spent on traditional road and bridge projects. Much of the rest is spent on left-wing priorities that don’t even come close to meeting the definition of infrastructure. Those priorities likely wouldn’t get public support if Mr. Biden and his allies were honest with the American people about what the bill actually contained. But that’s precisely why they have to change the definitions of words. If you fraudulently label something “infrastructure,” it becomes a “must-pass” bill.
