Senate Democrats fired the starting gun on their vast social spending plans on Monday morning, unveiling a $3.5 trillion budget of funding hikes for economic and environmental programs, setting up an autumn showdown over President Joe Biden's domestic policy ambitions. The 92-page measure lays the groundwork for legislation that over a decade would pour mountains of cash into their key priorities.
That includes money for education, health care and environmental programs plus tax breaks for families, funded in large part by tax increases on the wealthy and on corporations.

Elections have consequences.
And a whole lot of Republicans stayed home for the GA senate runoff.

The Democrats will be deciding how all the money is spent. Your role will be limited to earning it.

They will never learn the wealthy and corporations do not pay for these budgets. Those costs are passed to the consumer. This "budget" will put pResident Mush Loving Matlock Superfan Creepy Hair Sniffing's inflation into overdrive. Say goodbye to prosperity and freedom America.

They know they are spending money they do not have.
It like the proverbial emperor knowingly walking around naked, but trying to convince everyone he is regally clothed.
The inflation has already started. it will get worse. More businesses will close. More people will be unemployed. We will be dependent on a government that doesn't give a damn about us. The government will be forced to raise cash, but printing it will not work. The government may well force us to work for them. We may be entering into a new era of slavery. Debtor's slavery?
This does not end well folks.

Until the right can acquire some semblance of control in the House, Senate and eventually POTUS about the only thing the taxpayer has on their side is time. It takes time for these massive spending give-aways to roll out which means that if power changes to the right, much of the money scheduled to be spent can be cancelled. For instance the original Covid spending plan (actually the Big City Retirement Plan Support Fund) has only been about 50% distributed and will not be completely sent out for another three years. Hopefully anything the Ds get on the books now can be cancelled in a year or two.
It's not much but we need to keep sending our CongressCritters letters demanding (not politely asking) that they vote against these irresponsible bills.

And the game continues...
The UNIPARTY gets its $3.5 TRILLION, the Democrats once again prove they "can get things done for the little man", and the Republicans can rail for the boobs about how this is terrible, communism, and all that jazz. The suckers will flock to the conflict. Columns will be written. Great dudgeon will be raised. The wailing and gnashing of teeth will be fearsome across the fruited plain.
What a production.

What a disgrace. I voted for Thom Tillis over Cal Cunningham in the NC Senate election, but got Cal Cunningham anyhow. Tillis is a sell out.

Why not 10 trillion and enjoy the ultimate HIGH. And after the Euphoria comes the ultimate CRASH that will drag every American into the Fecal Pits.

The following letter was sent yesterday to my state senators and to each of the Republicans reported as supporting the vote on 'Infrastructure":
Dear Senator ______:
I am writing to voice my strong opposition to the ongoing tone and direction of the insane legislation being put forth by the Biden administration and the Democratic Party, driven largely by the known and historical motives of the American Left. At the same time, I need to express my ongoing shame that the party to which I have adhered for years just cannot get out of the subordinate role of saying “amen” to every idiocy that comes from the other side of the aisle. It is NOT NECESSARY to offer a counter-proposal to every objectionable thing the Democrats want…a simple “NO!” is often in order!
With all due respect, I urge in the strongest terms, with the full urgency and gravity of an American citizen and voter, that you DO NOT support the efforts of the Democrats to ram through the various flavors of the radical HR1 nonsense and the sham 3684 “infrastructure”-related budget legislation. These are radical, wildly dangerous, destructive, and deceptive efforts to drive a spike into good governance, good sense, and sound financial leadership.
It is critical that you take the time to consider what the current governing and legislative path supported by the Biden administration is doing to our great nation.
The social fabric, national sovereignty, the U.S. economy, public amity, and the solvency and liberty of our children and of theirs are being ripped asunder, and it is the clear impression of at least a great portion of the American public that it is all being done purposefully. Frankly, it is impossible to understand how so many elected representatives can be so blindly and easily led astray by the radicals among you.
This is not what our Constitution was designed to make of our great experiment in liberty and self-government, nor where reasonable, rational, and patriotic American leaders would take this Nation.
One-sided, self-serving actions by a governing elite and an autocratic Chief Executive in the Nation’s Oval Office are not going to bring us all together and carry this country forward, but rather seem engineered to bring our peoples’ sundry differences and conflicts to a boiling point. Others may discern exactly to whom the benefits of Democrats’ activities are intended to eventually fall, and history will be the final judge. If it is truly all about ensuring the bureaucratic power of an eternal ruling party, I weep for my country. As should you.
Conscientious Americans cannot support those who would advocate or encourage driving the Nation incessantly deeper into debt while surrendering control to international powers, autocratic politicians and corporate entities who have no loyalty to our nation. It only makes sense that doing this must be regarded as a dereliction of duty and violation of oaths sworn to the Nation, her Constitution, and her people.
I urge you to act with the wisdom and stature of your position.
Regards.

Tax increases on corporations just means we pay dearly for everything we buy. I'm sure the tax breaks will be minuscule to nonexistent.

Over 2000 pages to spend $1.2 Trillion...Now they want to spend three times as much with only 92 pages? Why not just scribble "All yer monies B'long Us" on a post-it and pass that?

And just a quick PS
We did a skippety jump from multi-BILLION dollar deficits to multi-TRILLION dollar deficits.
A TRILLION is a THOUSAND BILLION. So Democrats want to spend just this year ...
Three and a half THOUSAND BILLION dollars that they will lie and tell you they're getting from rich guys.

#15 - Awesome letter - well stated belief positions and clear intent. However, the partisan cipher that actually reads your tome will stop soon after the beginning of the second paragraph. The reader will write down your name & address and will be added to a) the 'request money ad nauseaum' list or b) the 'thank you for your letter - fkuc off' list depending on your position regarding the stated legislation. Unless your letter includes a check for a substantial amount of filthy lucre, the CongressCritter will never be within 20 feet of your effort. Emails are seldom read by a human. An AI scans the text and decides if you are for/against whatever and increments the count accordingly, after which your email dissolves into protons.
I speak from first-hand knowledge. One of the soccer moms on one of our son's teams worked for a Texas state Rep ('D' unfortunately) and she passed along a lot of somewhat disheartening information regarding how the peon's letters are viewed from above.

If you sat home, or whined "what about Trump?" the past 4 years and now not happy about this, maybe you have learned a lesson not to act like a liberal.
But then again, you dragged us down with you.
Show up next midterm elections and vote the democrats out, RINOs included.
