Pollak: After ‘Infrastructure’ Hoax, It’s Time for Mitch McConnell to GoJoel B. Pollak 11 Aug 2021
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell no longer leads his party, and proved Tuesday that he is incapable of leading the opposition to Democrats’ radical agenda for the country.
He voted for the $1.2 trillion infrastructure “deal,” providing one of 19 Republican votes that allowed President Joe Biden’s radical proposals to pass the Senate after clearing the filibuster. In return for allowing Biden to reshape the American economy, and claim a bipartisan victory, Republicans got nothing.
That’s right: nothing.
There is no border wall in the infrastructure deal, whose cost would be little more than a rounding error in the total proposal. The wall is urgently needed, as hundreds of thousands of migrants continue to pour across the southern border.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) proposed an amendment that would have directed a modest $1 billion toward completing the wall. But McConnell acceded to a process that did not allow Republicans to amend the bill at all.
There is no Keystone XL pipeline in the bill. Instead, Biden is promising electric vehicles — as he did in the 2009 “stimulus,” when he steered Fisker’s electric car factory to his home state of Delaware. Hundreds of millions of dollars later, Fisker produced no cars in the U.S. and went bust.
Biden is playing the same political games today, fêting UAW-staffed companies but excluding non-union Tesla, the industry leader.
