As customary, K Street wrote the legislation, that’s why the Senators had to vote cloture to continue debate before the bill was even written. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a host of Wall Street multinationals actually wrote the bill and the UniParty politicians are now tasked with selling it. That’s the way the process is designed.
President Trump notes the ridiculous nature of the $3.5 trillion spending package, which includes new regulatory mechanisms to track and tax vehicle mileage. Yes, you will be paying the government for each mile you drive your car. Republicans and Democrats want this; our opinion doesn’t matter.
DONALD TRUMP – “Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill is a disgrace. If Mitch McConnell was smart, which we’ve seen no evidence of, he would use the debt ceiling card to negotiate a good infrastructure package.
This is a 2,700 page bill that no one could have possibly read—they would have needed to take speed reading courses. It is a gift to the Democrat Party, compliments of Mitch McConnell and some RINOs, who have no idea what they are doing. There is very little on infrastructure in all of those pages. Instead, they track your driving so they can tax you. It is Joe Biden’s form of a gas tax but far bigger, far higher and, mark my words, far worse. They want to track you everywhere you go and watch everything you do!
Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill will be used against the Republican Party in the upcoming elections in 2022 and 2024. It will be very hard for me to endorse anyone foolish enough to vote in favor of this deal.
The good news is that the progressive wing in the Democrat Party will lose all credibility with this approval. Additionally, Kevin McCarthy and Republican House members seem to be against the bill. If it can’t be killed in the Senate, maybe it dies in the House!
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats understand that this is the way to get the horrendous $3.5 trillion, actually $5 trillion, Green New Deal bill done in the House. Mitch is playing right into Nancy’s hands, not to mention the fact Chuck Schumer is already going around saying this is a big victory for the Democrats.
Whether it’s the House or the Senate, think twice before you approve this terrible deal. Republicans should wait until after the Midterms when they will gain all the strength they’ll need to make a good deal, but remember, you already have the card, it’s called the debt ceiling, which the Democrats threatened us with constantly.” Link
“It’ll be easy Mitch, we just put earmarks back into place and your team can add their own spending”
President Trump – Mitch McConnell and his minions know exactly what they’re doing. The GOP RINO Caucus “no” votes was protection, they knew they could vote no and not commit publicly but still get what they wanted.
It was all in the cards, they dealt from under the table, it was a Pig Circus.
Let’s face it. None of them are afraid of us anymore. Don’t need voters when you got fake ballots, machines that duplicate and change votes from who you voted for to who they want. Should have knew something was up when they didn’t ask for votes but money. Those facilitating the cheat don’t work cheap.
They don’t need our tax dollars, Historically they need our labor which is why they tend to outsource it to China. Then they bypass us and our power to partially deny them our abilities when we call them out for abusing the System, which they are.
I’m ashamed to say I voted for Cornyn! It won’t happen again. I know my family WILL NOT vote for him again. We didn’t vote for him in the primary but voted for him in the general. If he runs again and wins in the primary our family won’t be voting for him. We’ll be writing in another candidate. We’re at that point with Governor Abbott too. We’re going to be voting for Allen West for Governor.
I’d do some digging regarding Allen West.
Jayne, This it not the time for innuendo without facts. LCOL West has been in combat and led men in war. Abbott has done neither though he has apparently been a recipient of Chinese money. He is first and foremost a politician, something we all need to keep in mind as THEY are the source of almost every problem in our world today.
Yes, dig into all candidates, though don’t spew unsubstantiated claims attacking a good man without evidence.
if we don’t indict the guilty for the 2020 election, forget all about our midterms and 2024. the GOP has sold us out, let’s get very real, we all know what is required, the question is, how may of you have the stomach and the back bone to do what’s right? I won’t bother waiting for your reply.
100% DEAD on correct!
I sure would like to ask Cocaine Mitch what is “center right” about the mileage tax that’s going to kill the middle and working classes? I will be writing him and Portman, maybe even Brown about it.
There’s nothing about infrastructure or economic stimulus in this bill. Our rulers are simply looting the treasury for their own benefit and for the benefit of their families and cronies. The looting is ever more frantic now because they all know that soon there will be nothing left to loot.
It’s hard to say what any of us would have done living under the circumstances that President Trump lived under for four years in the WH. The fact that he didn’t apologize even ONCE, even for the “meanest” of tweets, never backed down from that wretched, evil WH press corps, fought 24-7 for the truth and for his country against every obstacle and dirty lie that was thrown at him, and prevailed! Not to mention that he unmasked the fake news, the dirty rotten intel agencies, the obama regime, and the wet-noodled RINO’S who were doing us dirty for decades. And I’m not even going to try to list his accomplishments. I am forever grateful for him, and I pray that he gets four more years, so he can fly in that glorious red, white and blue AF1 that he designed.
I guess those 40K or so hardworking patriots who turn out to see and listen to him at every rally are just there for the entertainment?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Beautiful words. The question is do we have the courage to act on our DUTY, which is still sacred, to throw off such government?
“If Mitch McConnell was smart, which we’ve seen no evidence of…”
No, but we’ve seen much evidence of his cunning corruption.
