“The bill also includes a provision to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to begin auditing more than a million Americans, including lower income taxpayers.”

The democrat way: Make the poor and middle class pay their fair share.

So they got their army of 87,000 jackbooted Democrats to harass our people and eat out their substance. Stand by for more Ruby Ridges, Wacos, and Bundy Ranch standoffs as these vermin put the American people’s nuts in a vice. I wouldn’t expect protestors with signs outside the FedGoon camp next time, though. Nope, they won’t have signs, by my reckoning...You wanted an insurrection? This is how you get an INSURRECTION, A$$HOLES.

All 51 Democrats in favor.


Either a textbook example of a special kind of stupid or going all-in scorched earth before losing their power.

1) “...address record inflation by paying down our national debt...”

So we borrow another $400 billion to pay down a debt? How does this work? It seems to me borrowing more money is going to put us MORE in debt!

2) “...invest in climate change programs...”

Oh now I see. That is the money quote. When they say “invest” they mean you and me having to pay higher taxes to give to China to lower their high pollution industries.

How was Senator Leahy able to vote? Isn’t he home recovering from hip surgeries?

Friend of mine was a firefighter, then became an arson investigator with the police. After a few weeks on the job, he tells me, “you should see the tools I have available when investigating a suspect. I can read ALL of their social media posts. Everything. It scares me.”

You can bet these new Commierat IRS agents will be looking with zeal through social media posts to identify conservatives to terrorize and strip of all their possessions.

Why ban conservatives from social media when you can take everything they own including their electronic devices?

Fighting inflation by spending more money is like being overweight and buying a box of donuts.

“This legislation would lower health care, prescription drug, and energy costs, invest in energy security, and make our tax code fairer—all while fighting inflation and reducing the deficit,”

Oh, PLEASE. Where have we heard that before?

When has democrat legislation EVER resulted in lowering the deficit, inflation, health care costs, prescription drug costs, energy costs, etc? It has never happened. It never will happen.

Democrats may talk a good game about being the biggest protectors and defenders of the poor and middle class against the big bad rich people and their corporations. But give them the reins of power over a city, state, or country long enough and they make it much too expensive to live and survive for everyone except the rich and wealthy.

Witness the top ten most expensive cities in the United States to live in. Every single one of them controlled by Democrats.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/080916/top-10-most-expensive-cities-us.asp

Theres NO such thing as Democrats solving problens and making life better, easier, the cost of living cheaper. Democrats do NOT solve problems. They create them as well as exacerbate old problems. This legislation will prove to be no different.

“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), another swing vote, on Aug. 5 announced she was also on board after further adjustments to the measure following discussions with Democratic colleagues.”

Translation: they met her price.

What’s a few pieces of silver to the Commierats, they aren’t paying. WE ARE.

So how soon could an R congress repeal this monstrosity if they really wanted to?
It is OUR job to ensure they really want to.


Quick answer, we need a Republican President willing to sign such a repeal, so 2025 at the earliest.

However, if I read correctly Republican Senators can stall this by introducing amendments—the debate on them have no time limit. I hope they have a plan to do this.
