So stop supporting the practice. Ivy is spot on with line item legislation.kalm wrote:I’m not opposed to the spending. We’ve neglected quite a few things for decades.

Nothing in this bill is going to avert climate change or help the American middle class - and few people really know what’s in it to begin with.
The Republican Study Committee under Jim Banks has published a washdown of many items in the bill. It is obviously a partisan study, but where the money is going and how much money is moving is accurate.
You can be sure that the Dems are not trumpeting any of the details. Why? Because it is simpler to just make claims of what the bill will accomplish than actually providing the “how”.

HotAir has a synopsis of the Banks document that sums it up pretty well. There are some items in there that would poll quite low if Americans knew what they were. But that’s how ridiculous government spending happens... we always have to “pass it to find out what’s in it.”
Fortunately, it will not pass, and the coming progressive tantrum (combined with Biden’s failing presidency) is going to exacerbate the midterm bloodbath that is now in the mail.

The market is slow to pivot to clean(er) energy. There can also be an ROI on government spending.
We shouldn’t be providing free college to anybody (much less illegal aliens) just to get a few damn bridges.
