the build back better (bbb) act is decidedly not progressive. it aims to spend lavishly, entirely funded by debt with no hope of positive return, so that that spending can be captured by the already wealthy. the only bit of that bill that could be considered progressive is the change in tax rate for the wealthy/corporations, but that's such a tiny band-aid on a huge gaping wound, that's it's not even really worth mentioning.
