On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) responded to a question on how Democrats are addressing concerns about the economy and inflation by stating he wishes reporting would mention that the reconciliation bill is paid for.

During a discussion on the spending bills, co-host John Berman asked, “How are Democrats addressing what are growing concerns among the American people, A. about the economy, but B. about inflation and prices, just getting out of this pandemic?”

Taxpayer money, which will be as worthless as monopoly money.

Paid for by taxing the Brandon out of the country’s businesses and people.

It is socialist wealth distribution.

The economic effect would devastate the economy.

I assure you, its not HIS money. And your family’s budget isn’t worth a hoot for Durbin or any of his fellow travelers. Stealing from you makes what you buy with the money free; its working wonders for shoplifters of similar intent and character in San Francisco and New York.

Even the godfather of all modern Big Government Economists, John Maynard Keynes would be shouting at Durbin

“Its the spending stupid”

Someone really needs to sit down and explain demand side inflation to these idiots

Government should be cutting spending and raising interest rates not pouring a tanker truck of new spending on the current inflation bonfire.

But the Democrats are screw both ways. Either throw the country into recession or let inflation rage out of control.

No, not monopoly money - YOUR money.

When our government needs money they issue bonds or T-bills which are DEBT obligations on OUR 'credit card'.

We all know what happens when credit cards are overused.

BS! Nothing the government spends is paid for. It must first be taken from someone.

If spending is paid for why was/is it so important to raise the debt ceiling again and again?

Hitler and his henchmen all lied to the Jews and Christians and those lies led to 11+ million of them being put to death because they believed the lies. In this United States today we are all living under a constant stream of lies from the very same kinds of liars that were responsible for the genocide of WW2. If we the people don’t use our freedom to combat these DC liars who without question are seeking the destruction of our freedoms as a nation, we are going to lose our freedoms. Internment camps in America are a real possibility and will be filled with Americans who believe the lies of those in DC who order them to be built.

I remember when this was first shown to the public, Nancy Pelosi was giving a press conference and was asked by a reporter about paying for all of this. Her reply was: "I have a framework."

I'm sitting at home yelling at my t.v.: "Show me your framework, Nancy. I want to see your framework."

It might have been nice for the American people if any, ANY one of the reporters present would have asked that same question. Show us the "framework".
