I know many hate the source, but my god, how can we spend any more money?

**** Even as President Biden and congressional Democrats work to pass their $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, they’re bracing for the next big legislative scramble, over another massive spending bill that’s already drawing intense lobbying and threatening Democratic unity.

Biden’s next package could be far pricier than the coronavirus bill. Although plans remain fluid, it’s expected to center on a major infrastructure investment, while also tackling other priorities such as clean energy, domestic manufacturing, and child and elder care. However, as the next must-pass bill in a divided Congress, where legislative opportunities will be scarce, it has unleashed a torrent of other demands, as advocates for issues from climate change to immigration push to get included.

McCarthy needs to run ads in 20 Congressional targeted districts AND should have the conservative candidates up and running there to do press conferences.

Sheesh, do I have to do everything for these jokers?

You’ll be able to wallpaper your rooms with $100 bills before Biden’s first term is up.

2 or 3 trillion here and 2 or 3 trillion there and pretty soon you are talking about some real money.

These bills always remind of those class action lawsuits you get in the mail from time to time.

“You bought a toaster back in 2015 which had a premature wear part in it. The manufacturer has decided to settle the claim for $200 million dollars. The lawyers will get $195 million and each class participant will receive a $2 discount coupon off the purchase of a new toaster...”

The middle class gets a tiny fraction of the 2 or 3 trillion in the bill.
