Senate Democrats fired the starting gun on their vast social spending plans on Monday morning, unveiling a $3.5 trillion budget of funding hikes for economic and environmental programs, setting up an autumn showdown over President Joe Biden's domestic policy ambitions.

The 92-page measure lays the groundwork for legislation that over a decade would pour mountains of cash into their key priorities.

That includes money for education, health care and environmental programs plus tax breaks for families, funded in large part by tax increases on the wealthy and on corporations.

And yet gold dropped $100 last night in a “flash-crash.”

Weird. The more debt Fed.gov incurs, and the more the Federal Reserve monetizes it, the stronger the dollar gets.

EVERY ONE of the Assistant Democrats voting for the “infrastructure” bill KNOWS they are assisting the Democrats to pass this monstrosity even in none of them vote for this one.

We should have started taking them out back in 2014 when Flinmsey Grahamnesty had already voted for amnesty THREE times.

The GOP should stay as far away from this as they can and scream and yell about how ridiculous it is and how it will drain the Red States and make Blue Sates rich

“Bet on it, The know they have to ram through their commie agenda in this bill or it won’t get done, and they’re gunna do it. Say bye bye to the once great USA.”

Yet when Republicans hold both houses of Congress they can’t pass anything except huge tax reductions which disproportionally benefit their big donors. Nothing is done to roll back the big Democrat social programs. Nothing is done to tighten voter laws. Nothing is done by GOP Congresses to defend the border or defund wasteful spending (Planned Parenthood, Amtrak, PBS). Republicans abandoned any pretense of fiscal responsibility under the pedophile House Speaker Dennis Hastert, during the George W. Bush administration, when they went earmark crazy permitting the accumulated national debt to double under Bush’s watch. During the Boehner/Ryan years, when the GOP controlled the House and the power of the purse, nothing was done to reign in Obama’s spending.

Somehow Democrats with razor thin majorities can ram through their agenda. Yet when Republicans control Congress, they complain the Democrats prevent them from passing conservative legislation. Perhaps the real issue is their agenda is the Democrat agenda. After all, since New Gingrich ran in 1994 on the “Contract for America” when has any Republican Congressional campaign issued a platform which the GOP candidates promise to implement? You’ll never see the RNC, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy issue a conservative platform for the 2024 election cycle.

The GOP is facilitating this by backing the Trojan horse “infrastructure” bill and they KNOW it.

They will pretend to be against this as they assist the Democrats once again.
