3.5 trillion price tag of a party-line spending plan Democrats are assembling to secure much of President Joe Biden's economic agenda. It may compel Democrats to dramatically scale back their ambitions in order to get her support.

House Democrats over the party-line budget plan. Those Democrats are threatening to withhold support from the budget blueprint unless a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that recently passed the Senate reaches Biden's desk first.

Sinema had previously indicated she would not back a $3.5 trillion plan, which could pave the way for Medicare's expansion, initiatives to combat the climate crisis, set up affordable childcare and tuition-free community college.

It’s funny how they say it would set up affordable child care as if affordable child care does not exist. They have been setting up affordable child care for decades. At some point we should learn that the government is not the path to affordable child care.

Progressives are strange people. They don’t want people to have children, but when people do the progressives want to take them over.

I was just told by a prog, that she was proud she had only one child, because of the world pollution situation.

I’m glad she is limiting her child-bearing to one. The fewer children the left produces the better off the country will be in the future.

Shame that she is apparently more fiscally responsible than the rinos who,voted for the bill

As the hippies die off without reproducing, this could be a self correcting thing. Dangerous however, considering the middle easterners who come here and raise large families. And, the left fights against assimilation.

She has a lot more guts than many of our pubbie pols.
