Democrats fret over Biden spending

A number of Democrats are beginning to fret over President Biden’s big spending proposals, worrying the steep price tag could cost the party in the 2022 midterm elections.

While liberal Democrats are cheering Biden on, moderates say the $4.1 trillion in infrastructure and social spending, coming after the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief measure, could hurt their efforts to hold the House next year.

“I can see the ads now. ‘Joe Biden the $6 trillion dollar man,’ ” said one Democratic strategist. “Most Americans want the government to work but spending $6 trillion doesn’t make political sense.”

How can Democrats have any concern?

Joe has high job approval numbers in the polls.

Heck, a CNN poll showed 85% approval of his speech.

If that many people are behind Joe and Kamala, how can Democrats have any concerns about pushing the Democrat agenda?

How about worrying about the crushing federal debt our children and grandchildren will have to deal with?

That poll of 85% approval was of about 1,000 people with only 160 repulicans

They should be worried. $1.7 TRILLION for a bill that Biden stated in his State of the Union address would have no impact on world climate change. (I guess the puppet masters controlling his strings blew it.) That bill is like posting a “No Peeing Zone” in the shallow end of a public swimming pool. What a monumental waste of taxpayer dollars.

Oh, Gee. They are “fretting”. Poor dears.

Of course, He could propose 10 Trillion Dollars more of spending, and they would fret a bit about that too, and then slap their votes of approval down on the table and fret a little more.

I expect, they will somehow get rid of Biden at some point, and blame all the severe debt and accompanying hyperinflation on him, the the Left in its entirety will agree that Biden was a bad man when it came to fiscal policy, but he’s gone now. It’s all water over the dam then.

And all aspects of the Left, the media, the Leftist think tanks, Entertainment, Academia, will all nod their heads gravely and blather with great sincerity that, if it weren’t for the now gone Joe Biden, we wouldn’t be in this pickle.

Makes me want to spit.

LOL, hardly a scientific poll.

But, I was trying to show that something just doesn’t add up. If Joe and the Democrat agenda were as popular as a rigged poll would suggest, then Democrsts wouldn’t have any worries, would they?

It’s all a fraud and they know it.

They should worry, I think a lot of congressional districts can be flipped

BS article intended to confuse. It’s like “Some Nazis uneasy with Hitler’s final solution”.

Trust me, they’re good with it.

People are going to be a lot more fed-up with Biden Gas Prices, Biden Shortages, Biden Mask Nazis, Biden Boys Playing Girls Sports and a lot of other more tangible things that a big number on paper they never have understood.

They'll lose the house, and maybe even the senate. Joe's reckless spending will stop then. He'll be left with a phone and a pen and some warm soup.

So they really do not care about the price tag just how it might affect their election prospects.

They’re not worried that such budget-busting will harm America. They’re only worried that you’ll figure it out.

To your comment, I tend to agree. If 2022 is anything like 2020, I’m done voting. There is no point.

Sigh. I know young people can be stupid, they are ALLOWED to be stupid...we all are until we understand things better.

The Left or their equivalent have been politicizing youth for hundreds of years for that very same reason-that they are susceptible to it because they don’t have the life experience to rationally think it out, they are often controlled by emotion.

I feel bad for kids, especially those that haven’t even reached voting age. They will have to live with this.

I understand that, due to the predations of the Left, kids between seven and seventeen are politicized and used as tools. These kids are indoctrinated in Leftist schools, they come home and plead with their parents to put a Black Lives Matter sign on the lawn because they have been told it is the right thing to do, and their skull full of mush parents probably say “Sure, go ahead” and go back to washing the dishes, watching television, or whatever.

One can almost imagine the parents talking to each other saying “Isn’t it nice that Johnny is taking an interest in these important issues?” without even giving a second thought to the validity of the issue they are “taking a stand on”?

Never mind the Leftist-Fever Swamp parents who indoctrinate their own children as Leftist militants and scolds. Those poor kids never have a chance. When they grow up (like David Horowitz who was a red diaper baby whose parents hung around with all the other fellow travelers, they all went on family vacations to the same places, steeped in the love of Communism) they may have a chance to break out of it, like David Horowitz did. He was “lucky” in that a co-worker who, like him, who actually had an official, paying job with the Black Panthers, was brutally murdered. That was a wake up call for him. Most people aren’t that “lucky”.

I blame the parents. But as you said, the kids are going to really pay the price. Us too, in all probability.
