The 13 House Republicans who voted for infrastructure were subjected to what was described as vicious and violent threats after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene published their phone numbers.
In a display of total confidence, President Biden was asked what gives him the confidence Congress will pass Build Back Better. He said, “me.”
The corporate media and pundits declared that infrastructure was dead multiple times only to be proven wrong by Pelosi and Biden.
The House has been given a new sense of urgency after a rough election night and moving quickly to get infrastructure passed.
Democrats celebrated in early January when Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff were elected to the US Senate. Those elections gave Liberals a majority in the house and senate to go along with the White House. Unfortunately, two Democratic senators have refused to play ball. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin has consistently prevented Joe Biden from…
When he first took office, Joe Biden promised to make a good faith effort to work with Republicans. And that effort has been made on numerous occasions over Biden’s first few months in office. Mitch McConnell, though, has often urged his senators against working with the president or supporting his legislation. This is the same…
Traditional Republican policies do not put country over party but rather turn back the clock on the American Revolution.
Joe Biden made some big promises prior to taking office this January. He already accomplished his first goal of passing a major COVID relief bill. The new president has now moved on to passing a major infrastructure bill. Biden would very much like for the bill to pass with votes from both Democrats and Republicans….
Trumpism, in fact, has provided a fortuitous opening for the Republican Party establishment to salvage its own perfidious conservatism by providing a kind of straw man for the establishment.
Joe Biden came into office with some big ideas. The first and most important one has already been handled. The new President was able to pass a massive relief bill that helped millions of Americans. The relief bill, despite being enormously popular with all Americans, did not receive one Republican yes vote. Biden has moved onto…
January’s Georgia run-off represented a major moment for the Democratic party. The wins of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock gave the party control of the White House, Senate and House. An elated Joe Biden was ready to make good on a number of his biggest promises. But as he has attempted to do so, there…
During the Trump presidency, Republicans had a very slim majority. And they used that majority to push through the things they wanted. Taxes were cut and Supreme Court Justices were placed with no care about bi-partisanship. The shoe is on the other foot now as Democrats have a narrow majority with Kamala Harris as the…
Afterward, at a press conference with Senate Democratic Leader Schumer, Pelosi told reporters Trump may have lacked the confidence to work with Democrats on infrastructure. She said she prays for Trump.
Schumer said watching what happened at the meeting between the president and Democratic lawmakers “would make your jaw drop.” He said that when Trump was asked how he would pay for an infrastructure plan, “he had to run away.”
Speaker Pelosi responded to Trump’s outburst on national television by telling the country that Trump wasn’t up to the challenge of an infrastructure deal. Nancy Pelosi Says Trump Lacks The Confidence To Do An Infrastructure Deal Pelosi said, “For some reason, maybe it was lack of confidence on his part, that he really couldn’t match…
LEESBURG, Va. (Reuters) – U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday that legislation to rebuild the country’s infrastructure that Democrats are developing should be worth at least $1 trillion, and she would like to see it be $2 trillion. “Has to be at least $1 trillion, I’d like it to be closer to $2…
Despite Trump’s promise to make huge investments in infrastructure, Republicans and the president are already pledging to oppose the Democratic plan.
The problem has nothing to do with Washington, D.C. “choking off†infrastructure spending. The problems lay in Snyder’s tax cuts
Scott Walker’s lack of popularity in Wisconsin is certainly noticeable, but Walker’s problem right now is his budget, which Wisconsin Republicans say is looking tailored more for out-of-state Republicans like voters in Iowa, than for Wisconsin.
Republicans are looking for ways to increase the already bloated defense budget they claim is woefully underfunded. And, as is their wont, they are targeting domestic programs due to their regard for the “out-of-control” and “unsustainable deficit.”
The President’s plan is a common sense approach to reinvesting in America by rebuilding its transportation infrastructure.
Apparently, Republicans and their supporters are proud that America’s infrastructure compares unfavorably with most advanced and even some developing nations because in their minds spreading the South’s third world status to the entire nation is a worthy goal.
Most Americans do not object to debt when they receive something in return such as road or schools, but a great deal of America’s debt is for wars that only benefit the military industrial complex.
Americans can hardly take much more economic abuse from Republicans and Wall Street CEOs, panting to cut spending under the guise of debt or deficit reduction just to enrich wealthy industrialists.
Thirty years ago Ronald Reagan set in motion a movement that hastened America’s deterioration that another Republican president, George W. Bush, accelerated twelve years ago.
The self-made myth perpetuated by conservatives has been allowed to shape policy, demonize government, and deny how much is built together
