Of course NOT?
Why would they?
Might help a broad numbers of Americans…
Might create jobs….
Might help the social safety net for Americans…
All that with a few tax increases for the rich and some corporations…
And?
Might help Democrats politically….
Atta Guy Mitch!
Mitch McConnell on Thursday ruled out support from his Republicans for President Joe Biden’s new infrastructure plan, all but ensuring that the proposal will have to pass with lockstep Democratic unity in the Senate.
At an event in Kentucky, the Senate Republican leader pilloried the $2.5 trillion infrastructure proposal as exacerbating the debt and raising taxes. McConnell said the bill would not get a single Senate GOP vote, despite the White House’s bipartisan outreach.
“That package that they’re putting together now, as much as we would like to address infrastructure, is not going to get support from our side. Because I think the last thing the economy needs right now is a big, whopping tax increase,” McConnell told reporters.
Senate Democrats are already signaling they may set up the infrastructure bill to pass along party lines…
I was really surprised by this.
I know. Almost as shocking as Republicans defending Georgia’s voting suppression law.
U joking Jack?
