The Democratic-led Senate voted to authorize more than $4 trillion of federal spending in less than 24 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday morning. The Senate passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, which includes $517 billion in new spending and a reauthorization of funding from the highway bill, at 11:17am on Tuesday. The Senate moved to debate on the Democrats' filibuster-proof $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation proposal. The framework for the plan authorizing that level of federal spending passed in a 50-49 vote early Wednesday morning at 3:50am.

Spending ? Only if you classify payoffs, kickbacks and bribes as " spending ".

Headline is misleading. The Senate did NOT approve the 3.5T BOHICA II bill yet. Reconciliation takes 50, and at least two of theirs are not on board as of right now. Voting for cloture is not the same as approving the bill.
Shoddy writing.

Non-conservatives have colluded to intentionally BURY America in debt. Excessive debt - excessive money printing out of thin air - markedly decreased purchasing power as the dollar is worth much less - economic hardship for MANY Americans and illegals who become dependent on government largesse for survival and will vote accordingly. Almost all of this can be laid at the feet of Democrats and their RINO friends ... and they could care less because for them CHAOS means continued POWER. They changed America via fraudulent elections and forced demographic change, because they couldn't do it legally. Treason.

5.4% inflation is not enough. Let's try for 12%. Very soon your hard earned dollies will admittedly be worthless. Actually they already are, but the fools on office haven't figured it out yet.

Thank Mitch McConman, Pierre Defecto, Lindsey Gramnesty, all the rest of the usual RINO GOPes, for their go-ahead vote for this. The tax revolt is already starting. I see the black markets and underground, undertable transactions revving up like never before in my live.

Biden will have to borrow more money to afford the ink to print more money to cover the debt for more money to print more money nobody really has or a plan to pay it back. What could go wrong?

Total number of Federal Taxpayers? 144million
Total amount of THEIR combined earnings? 11.6 Trillion
Total amount of taxes they paid? 1.5Trillion.
Dems want to increase spending to 50% of all US Taxpayers total incomes combined.
Putting them on the hook for More than four times what they currently pay in taxes.
I saw an interesting statistic earlier this week, for comparison...
TOTAL numbers of pictures/photos taken worldwide in 2020? Cameras, cellphones, all sources, Globally.. 1.2 Trillion
Total number of pictures saved worldwide, from all sources, from 1st photo until today?...7.9Trillion.

The bill for $4T will be forwarded to our kids, courtesy of our commiedems. What I wish to say to them (and the complicit RINOs) would get me a lifetime ban here, though. So I'll keep it to myself.

According to the Democrats and the liberal media, this is not spending. It is an investment in the future. Well if the Democrat infrastructure plan is an "investment", I think that we need new "investment" advisors in Washington DC. My money has been recklessly "invested" in socialist/communist policies and other social programs that will have little to no return for the country. They would be better off just burning the money to provide heat for the needy in the winter. The long term results of these investments will be higher interest rates, higher costs for goods and services, more people dependent on government. The only engineering feats that will result from this infrastructure plan will be the social engineering that will occur. This is a bad investment for our country. The investment advisors in Congress (Democrats & RINOs) who voted for it should be fired.

"Investment" requires a rational expectation of positive returns. You get your money back and THEN some..Nobody paying for this is getting anything "back" from this. The people in charge of spending this will get bloody rich and the Dems hope they will be buying votes.

Think about this aspect of the story. Compare the focused and relentess jobs which Pelosi and Schumer are doing - - with the thinnest of voting margins - - with the feckless and non-existent efforts put in by Ryan and McConnell - - when they had much bigger majorities. The Pubbies and RINOs have screwed us royally - - and we must do everything we can to run them out of town!
