Nobody can blame AOC and the Squad for this, it’s all on Republicans.
We need to stop using the term trillion and use the expression 1000 billion or even better 1 million million. Some people perhaps think that 1 trillion is 3 million and 1 billion is 2 million just like a tricycle has three wheels and a bicycle has two wheels. 1 trillion is such a huge number that it cannot really be imagined concretely.
Pray, and pray. Many good MAGA candidates are running in 2022.
Cut from the original bill (just kidding): These are actual items from Reader’s Digest article
11 Bizarre Things the U.S. Government Actually Spent Money On by Marissa Laliberte
Updated: Aug. 20, 2021
Sex, drugs, and… quails
The government spent at least $518,000 in federal grants to study how cocaine affects the sexual behavior of Japanese quails. They were trying to look at how cocaine abuse affected risky sexual behaviors in humans.
Hamster fights
For more than 20 years, Northwestern University researchers received National Institutes of Health money to watch hamster fights, more than $3 million over the course of the project and $306,000 in 2015 alone. Some of those experiments involved injecting hamsters with steroids, then putting another hamster in the cage to see if the drugged rodents were more aggressive when protecting their territory. Others investigated whether becoming a “trained fighter” through two weeks of face-offs made the critters more aggressive. The experiments stopped after animal activists pressured the lab to cut the program.
Digitized Grateful Dead memorabilia
An agency gave the U of California–Santa Cruz $615,175 to digitize its collection of tickets, photos, T-shirts, and other memorabilia.
Yeah because your idea worked so well for us the last decade.
Your hate the GOP always dogmas cost us the Congress and the Whitehouse. Why are you still here whining? You got EVERYTHING you wanted. Your political gods the Dems run everything now.
Right 95% of the votes came from the Dems so OF COURSE it all on the GOP!
Why are you still here whining? You got EVERYTHING you ever wanted. Your political gods the Dems run everything now.

Your Assistant Democrats just assisted the Democrats AGAIN!
Bush League Republicans will ALWAYS assist the Democrats until we replace them.
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)
That’s more than 5% of GOP Senators.
The “Gods” are Democrats and Republicans, it’s just the illusion of choice.
More choo choos! We libs love us some choo choos!
...and New Orleans will still continue using water pumps made over a hundred years ago...
Does this revised bill have to return to the Senate forapproval???
The Obama porkulus gave us “infrastructure” here in Pasco, Florida...were given a snakey sidewalk on either side of US19. I see maybe one or two people using it here when I go to lunch, but most of the time you cannot see anyone on it at all. There are more people assigned to weed-eat it than actually use it, and it must be weed-whipped frequently or the jungle takes it over in short order. And when it rains, much of it is under water.

Yea, closer to 40% of Republican Senators. I was referring to the House, where they were powerless to stop it, and in the House, the net effect of the sellouts was to save some of the House Democrats from having to support it.
In the Senate, they were likely able to stop it, provided, of course, that Manchin wasn’t threatening to nuke the filibuster over it.
If the House GOP had held together, it probably would have failed.
They bailed out Pelosi.
It is largely the Assistant Democrats in the Senate that put us here as it almost always is.
“If the House GOP had held together, it probably would have failed.”
Not according to Breitbart. They were ready to support Nancy, otherwise Nancy wouldn’t have held the vote. But it is nice dreaming that Democrats would side with us over them on such an important vote.
