    Default Disgraceful House Republicans Rescue Biden?s Flailing Agenda

    Disgraceful House Republicans Rescue Biden?s Flailing Agenda


    The Democrats had the ability to pass this without their help. Republicans should have been united in letting the Democrats own this. They are in control, but can't even organize their own party, much less the country.

    In light of this month's election results, the path forward should have been clear.

    The federal government already spends more than enough on infrastructure to meet our needs and the COVID-19 bailout money left many states awash in cash. Despite promises, only a small portion of the bill focuses on traditional infrastructure such as fixing roads and bridges and the legislation (soon to be law) will add $256 billion to deficits. It will also help grease the wheels for the passage of the larger multi-trillion welfare bill that will expand Medicare and Obamacare, initiate a federal takeover of preschool and child care, and impose economically devastating tax increases on individuals and businesses.

    Politically, it?s unclear what Republicans are thinking. Biden entered this week reeling from a devastating rebuke of his presidency by voters in areas of the country thought to be reliably Democratic. He headed into the 2022 election year a wounded animal, and Republicans stood to make major gains. Now, they tossed him a life raft and allowed him to put bipartisan gloss on his radical agenda.

    Every Republican who voted for this monstrosity who is not already retiring should be primaried and defeated by candidates who will actually resist the Left-wing agenda. Those who are retiring should be shamed for the rest of their lives. It also is not too soon to be asking whether Representative Kevin McCarthy should be ousted from leadership for his inability to keep his caucus together on such a crucial vote.

    Here are the names of the 13 Republicans who voted with Pelosi and Biden:

    Representative Brian Fitzpatrick
    Representative Don Bacon
    Representative Don Young
    Representative Fred Upton
    Representative Adam Kinzinger
    Representative Jeff Van Drew
    Representative John Katko
    Representative Tom Reed
    Representative Andrew Garbarino
    Representative Nicole Malliotakis
    Representative Chris Smith
    Representative David McKinley
    Representative Anthony Gonzalez
    This is why I don't trust any of the participants in the game. They're not playing each other. They're playing us.

    This [fertilizer] is part of why I left the Republican party nine years ago.

    Don't miss it a little bit.

    Yep. I've always been a fiscal conservative at heart, and the GOP hasn't been that since.... Not sure it ever has, TBH. Country's always been managed by teenagers with credit cards, and the collectors are finally catching up.

    I haven't been a registered Republican since CO allowed everyone to decide how the individual parties would select their candidates. Colorado GOP had been a joke for decades, so I'm not sure it really mattered.
