Infrastructure Bill Up For A Vote
This week the U.S. House is set to debate the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill on Thursday. Unfortunately, this is only a small piece of the financial pie that lawmakers have proposed. As our friend Stephen Moore pointed out, Congressional Democrats have proposed $11 trillion in spending in just the last six months.

They are happy to dump that right on top of the current $28.8 trillion national debt to satisfy their goals.
They are also discussing a timeline to debate the "Build Back Better" plan which can more astutely be dubbed the Build Back Broker plan. Congress claims the bill would only cost $3.5 trillion over a decade, but in reality it's more like $5 trillion. And this plan is an assault on marriage and families, adding yet another reason why this proposal is a bad idea.
Don't just take our word for it, look at what Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-01) and Congressman Michael Burgess (TX-26) had to say about it.
It's time for fiscal conservatism and for work toward a Responsible American Budget, not fiscal insolvency.
