A few of the items in Biden's $3.5T "build back better" plan:
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FATe4OoXoAAgCkf?format=jpg&name=large)
$79 billion for increased tax enforcement. Couldn't they have just cut a $79 billion check to the IRS? I saw that they are moving the spying amount from $600 to potentially $10K, so I bet that piece of crap is going to pass.
I won't even comment on "tree equity".
Oh, and BTW, the newest talking point is that this whole $3.5T package will actually cost zero dollars.
-
79 B for tax enforcement tells you what's coming next
Tree Equity means there's too many White Oak, White Pine, and White Ash trees. :P
Actually I think I know what they mean by it but it's still stupid.
-
For those of us who are slow, what is tree equity?

The trees are all kept equal, by hatchet, axe and saw.

Supposedly, BIPOC communities don't have as many trees as wealthy white communities, thus they are hotter all the time.

Maybe they will go back and plant Elm trees in the cities with all of that money so they can be equal again. I am sure no one in the present administration knows why they are gone now.

And you can keep your doctor

A trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon you're talking about some real money.

Those were Dutch Elms. Biden will be planting American Elms (grown in China), because he knows best.

Build back Bolshevik!

Like:
I’m going to tell my wife I’m buying a new car and it’s not costing anything because I’m taking money from our bank account to pay for it.
-
It's unfair and absurd to say that companies would raise prices on goods and services if their tax burden and costs to do business went up.

Why do we even pretend the budget numbers matter?
-
"It's not about a dollar amount."
Also, racist dog whistle:

-
Let just say it out loud
It's about how many votes we can buy for the midterms.
-
You can only build back "better" after you destroy the previous system. They are well on their way with that plan.
-
3.5 trillion, inflation will only get worse and the infrastructure (actual infrastructure, not “human infrastructure”) will still suck just as badly
-
40 acres and a mule.

Does that mean they will plant trees in those communities or cut down trees in other places? Maybe that should be a poll question. =D

This is creepy. They follow Sinema into a bathroom, filming everything. Even if you think it's okay to do this to a politician, there were several private citizens in there doing their business and they probably don't appreciate being all over the MSM and social media now. In fact it's probably a crime.

I heard some House R's were out trying to justify voting for red flag laws. Some of them certainly would go for that.

This, with bells on.

The republicans are eager to get their pork in also so as soon as they are able to do that they will vote for it. Just like the wild spending sprees last year.
-
"We'll get elected the next time, but everything is going to tank six weeks after that. Cool."
-
Uncle Joe's admin is doubling and tripling down on their claim that the $3.5 trillion "Build Back Better" (Jesus that sets my teeth on edge) bill will add 0 dollars to the national deficit.
Even Uncle Joe's most erstwhile cheerleaders are calling bullshit on that one.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/analysts-blast-biden-team-claim-bill-costs-zero
But funny how it was only Donald Destruction who lied...
I guess Biden's claims could be ruled, by CNN, as "mostly truthful statements."
-
I do not understand how people buy that "zero dollars" bullshit. The tax money to pay for it comes from US taxpayers. It doesn't matter if you don't like the particular taxpayer segment being targeted. Tax dollars are still paying for it.
This is what economics masterminds like AOC learn in school now - that as long as YOU aren't paying, it's "zero dollars".
-
If this was Trump 99.9% of the MSM and congress critters would be calling him insane and calling for impeachment, again.
-
"I do not understand how people buy that "zero dollars" bullshit."
Of course taxes will pay for it. The Dems are claiming that it will be paid for -- completely -- by taxes on the rich and on corporations.
The whole zero dollars thing is framed in terms of additions to the deficit.
-
Republicans and Democrats in congress = two pirates arguing about how to split the booty and how much gruel to portion out to the slaves.

They're taught all you have to do is take all the money away from the rich and it's free.
I like to ask them after you take all the money away from the rich then what? Where does the money come from next year and the year after that? Some start to get it most don't.

People also have weird ideas about who is "rich". People who don't blow all their money and have a nice house are rich.
-
In the early 20th century when the income tax was first under consideration, some early proponents asserted that it was only going to be a tax on millionaires -and back then, a million dollars was a lot of money.
Look where we've come since then. =(
-
As I’ve said before, while they may say “tax the rich” it’s really the middle class that will pay the price.
-
$3.5 trillion is $0
War is peace
Ignorance is strength
Just to keep in mind where we are at now.

Ads against this should be clearly highlighting that BBB came straight from the World Economic Forum, nothing original, just Joe as a foreign agent. Again...

So much like here, Ron.

Psaki explaining how "zero dollars" is still accurate because the people footing the bill are people we [they] don't like:

Build back Bolshevik!
Hey, I'm not the only one! =)
Manchin has single-handedly taken the socialist suicide plan of Build Back Bolshevik and shoved it so far up “Brandon’s” derriere that Anthony Fauci, a hand-picked team of proctologists, and the whole gang from Roto-Rooter couldn’t recover it.
