Liz Peek: Biden’s monster 'rescue' bill destroys campaign vows and endangers recovery
Fox News
Congratulations to President Biden, who just jammed his $1.9 TRILLION pork-stuffed “stimulus” bill through Congress with exactly zero Republican votes, smashing his campaign promise to govern as a moderate and unite the nation.
Even as Democrats whittled away at some of the bill’s most controversial features – like unemployment benefits that would pay people more than their jobs and keep them from going back to work or checks to people with six-figure incomes – the sum total of the bill’s largesse never budged. Biden made it clear it was to be $1.9 trillion or zip. Though Biden thinks he is avoiding the pitfall that damaged the Obama economy, he is actually making the same mistakes. Why such stubbornness? Why was Biden unwilling to negotiate with Republicans to arrive at a bipartisan compromise? Could it be that Biden had an especial need to have his bill top the $1.8 trillion Cares Act passed last spring under President Trump? A bill, we hasten to say, that the senate approved 96-0. Is Biden that petty?More Related News
