It's a little early to write Biden's political obituary. He still has a decent chance of passing the transportation bill and the reconciliation package. Put those together and he'll go down as the most legislatively productive president in the last 50 years. Both bills are full of popular stuff that will help Biden in 2024.
Joe Manchin has said his ceiling is $1.5 trillion. The progressives will test the electric fence like the raptors in Jurassic Park. As soon as they figure out there's no bill without Manchin's blessing, we'll probably have a deal. Hopefully by the end of October.
As for cars, hybrids are great. If you're looking for a second car, consider a 2014-17 Nissan Leaf. Consumer Reports said they cost basically $0 to maintain. No oil changes, no gas, no water pumps or timing belts. Just plug it in to a regular wall outlet for a couple hours every night. The 2014-15 model has about a 70-80 mile range (be sure to check the "battery capacity bars"), which is perfectly fine if all you're doing with that second car is driving to work or running errands.
