Pass It and Fix It

"Fixing something that’s broken is better than not having anything to fix." So says Igor Volsky in the Wonk Room, where he has posted this admirably clear graphic on the benefits in the Senate bill as it stands:
Volsky continues, "After all, the choice isn’t between passing this bill or a better bill — it’s between passing this bill or nothing at all." But for those who complain that the bill is half a loaf or worse, this bill offers significant social and economic benefits that can not — and should not — be easily dismissed.
