Senate Democrats have assembled a laundry list of possible tax hikes to help finance their $3.5 trillion spending bonanza, according to an internal committee document obtained by The Post.

Many Democrats are eager to implement the host of corporate and individual tax hikes to fund the $3.5 trillion plan, but Beltway insiders are dubious the more controversial plans — like taxing share buybacks and hefty executive payouts — will make the final bill....

...Sen. Mike Crapo, a Republican of Idaho, said in a statement to The Post that he had “serious concerns” about the Democratic “tax-and-spending spree.” He said the proposals could cause immediate and long-term damage ...

Sen. Mike Crapo, a Republican of Idaho, said in a statement to The Post that he had “serious concerns” about the Democratic “tax-and-spending spree.”

I am so inspired and moved to action, Senator Crapo.

Here are this 19 Republican Senators that voted for this to begin with:

Roy Blunt of Missouri
Richard Burr of North Carolina
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
Susan Collins of Maine
Kevin Cramer of North Dakota

Mike Crapo of Idaho


Deb Fischer of Nebraska
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
Chuck Grassley of Iowa
John Hoeven of North Dakota
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Rob Portman of Ohio
Jim Risch of Idaho
Mitt Romney of Utah
Dan Sullivan of Alaska
Thom Tillis of North Carolina
Roger Wicker of Mississippi

You can't spell Crapo without "Crap".

It’s September, back to the Senate floor salt mines.

Then there must be work product in the form of nothingness

If the full $5 trillion spending bills pass, there will be major tax hikes but it will not stop the collapse of the American Dollar.

proposals could cause immediate and long-term damage
We understand what this bill means. “Progressives “ either don’t or welcome the destruction.
Top 10% of income earners pay 70.6% of federal income taxes. ($158,000 annual net income puts you there)

The People Who Actually Run Things are billionaires and so this is unlikely to happen.

If it did happen -- Democrats always assume that their targets won't change their behavior to avoid the taxes. If share buybacks are heavily taxed, then share buybacks just won't happen.

The people who will actually pay for this are the people who will be harmed the most by inflation. (As always, it is the people who the Democrats claim that they are trying to help that they will hurt.)

These are the Assistant Democrats that enabled the latest assault on the USA

Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)

They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.

My personal gauge of consumer price index is a gallon of milk and it always seems be an accurate reflection. Sounds corny i know. Today its up 110% since the beginning of the year. Its been $1.19/gal for at least three years up to the beginning of this year. Today its $2.49/gal. Groceries are up across the board and the poor employees tell me about having to deal with irate shoppers all the time.

It’s not an “infrastructure bill”. It’s a $3.5 billion Transfer of Wealth from taxpayers to Democrats.
