Michael Barone in dailyherald: Let's take a look what a Democratic trifectic has given the nation.
America has just exited a biennium of Democratic trifecta -- control by the nation's and the world's oldest political party of the White House and majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives. It is only the third such biennium in the last 40 years, since 1993-95 and 2009-11, the first two years of the Clinton and Obama administrations.
It's plain that Democrats applied too much stimulus and disappointingly little redistribution. They doubled down on Trump administration stimulus spending and would have gone further but for two senators' rejection of Build Back Better. Meanwhile, alternatives to standard and union-dominated public schools are thriving. Charter school enrollment rose sharply in the early months of the pandemic, and that growth has been sustained. The home-schooling population has increased by 1 million students.
The public health agencies repeatedly disgraced themselves during the COVID pandemic. The Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention waddled in late with tests, failed to conduct useful research and took dictation from teachers unions on school restrictions. Public health authorities tried to squelch the fact COVID infection conferred immunity comparable or superior to vaccination.
