Mitch McConnell Strategy: Force Democrats to ‘Finance’ $3.5 Trillion ‘Infrastructure’ Plan

Wendell Husebø 10 Aug 2021

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stated Monday his strategy to stop the Trojan horse reconciliation package is to force Democrats to “finance” the $3.5 trillion plan.

“Democrats have all the existing tools they need to raise the debt limit on a partisan basis. If they want 50 lock-step Democratic votes to spend trillions and trillions more, they can find 50 Democratic votes to finance it,” McConnell said from the Senate floor.

“If they don’t want Republicans’ input, they don’t need our help,” he continued.

A Republican shutout would force Democrats to own the massive spending at a time when inflation is reaching historic highs, hurting consumers, and punishing those who have saved cash.

But Democrats could take the gamble, passing both the infrastructure bill and the reconciliation package by sticking to their guns and funding the measures without Republican support.

Some senators appear willing to move forward despite McConnell’s efforts.

Mitch, since when have Democrats paid for anything with their own money?  They'll pay for it with other people's money.

That's odd.

I honestly though that Mitch the Bitch supported it?

It will be VERY interesting to see if the Dims change a period or don't dot an "i" on the final bill and see if he supports it then because "they made fundamental changes in the bill".

He is a lot of things,but neither he nor his Chinese wife are stupid.
