​​​​​​​Deal Or No Deal

The House of Representatives is supposedly going to try again to pass a $1.2 trillion physical infrastructure bill and Joe Biden's $1.75 trillion social bill sometime this week. 

 

Initial reports indicated the votes would occur tomorrow, but the House Rules Committee canceled a meeting scheduled for today to set up the parameters of the debate due to ongoing Senate negotiations over the social spending bill. That means Democrats are likely to take up the legislation in the aftermath of the Virginia elections. 

 

If Democrats in Richmond have a good night tomorrow, Democrats on Capitol Hill will be emboldened. If Virginia Democrats have a bad night, it could cause a lot of Democrats in Congress to have second thoughts about another $3 trillion in spending.

 

House Republicans overwhelmingly oppose both bills. While roads and bridges are good investments, there's a lot of left-wing garbage in the physical infrastructure bill. Moreover, the fortunes of both that bill and the $1.75 trillion social spending bill are tied together. 

 

If the so-called "physical infrastructure" bill passes, it guarantees passage of the bigger, far worse social spending bill that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer can ram through on a party-line vote using the reconciliation process. 

 

There are reports that some House Republicans may break ranks and vote for the "roads and bridges" bill. They are:

 

  • Don Bacon (R-NE)
  • Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
  • John Katko (R-NY)
  • Adam Kinzinger (R-IL)
  • Tom Reed (R-NY)
  • Fred Upton (R-MI)
  • Don Young (R-AK)

 

If these congressmen represent you, call them 202-224-3121 and urge them to vote "NO" on both massive spending bills. 

 

No conservative should make Nancy Pelosi's job any easier for her. Nor should they do anything that greases the skids for Biden's $1.75 trillion big government obscenity that expands Obamacare, funds the Green New Deal and puts the IRS on steroids.
