I agree. It's a variation of "life is what happens while you're making other plans". You may have your priorities, but ultimately situations dictate priorities more than leaders. Excrement hits various different fans all the time, and you have to deal with them as they occur, regardless of your "priorities". Whether the housing market collapses, or a war breaks out, or a pandemic happens, or some other atypical event, that has to be your priority at that moment.
If you have any spare time, sure...get the ACA passed. Or the CRA passed. Or an infrastructure bill (hopefully before infrastructure collapses, and becomes another bit of excrement hitting a fan). Or whatever.
