Can America Survive $1-Trillion Infrastructure Bill and $3.5-Trillion Spending Plan?

• needtoknow.news, CNET, KPCR radio and Fox News

The 19 Republican Senators who voted with Democrats to pass the Infrastructure bill include: Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Shelley Moore Capito, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Kevin Cramer, Mike Crapo, Deb Fischer, Lindsey Graham, John Hoeven, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, Jim Risch, Mitt Romney, Dan Sullivan, Thom Tillis, Roger Wicker, and Chuck Grassley.

The larger $3.5 trillion spending bill is moving forward through "budget reconciliation," a legislative tool that would allow Democrats to approve the plan without any Republican support.

President Biden's insane new "infrastructure" bill is chock full of insane spending ideas.

From KPCR Radio:

Spoiler alert: less than 25% of this bill actually goes to rebuilding infrastructure.

Policy analyst Brad Polumbo highlighted some of the examples at FEE.org.
