The Senate is considering President Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda as we get closer to Christmas.
Keeping with the theme of the holiday season, Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) took to the Senate floor with a poster-board display of a Christmas tree on Thursday to sarcastically compare the items that are within the president’s social spending bill to Christmas gifts.
One of the gifts under the “tree” was a car for labor unions, which was in reference to electric car provisions within the legislation that would encourage Americans to buy more electric vehicles with the intent of helping the climate.
“It seems that the Democrats have put under the Christmas tree a shiny new tax credit for (buying) electric vehicles,” Young said facetiously. “But, only if those vehicles are made in a union shop. You see if you are naughty and buy an electric vehicle from a non-union shop, like those made in Indiana, you’d miss out on the Democrats $4,500 give away in this bill.”
Young also criticized the bill and call Democrats hypocrites for “giving a tax cut to two-thirds of people earning more than $1 million a year.”
Finally, Young said that under his Christmas tree was a gift for the taxpayers, which he says was coal.
“That looks like coal,” he said. “That lump of coal must represent the massive $367 billion that will be added to the debt by the Democrats reckless tax and spending bill, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.”
The White House has contested that the bill will actually lower the debt, based on what they have heard from other economists they’ve consulted with.

The White House has contested that the bill will actually lower the debt, based on what they have heard from other economists they’ve consulted with. What economists did the White House consult with, AOC?
It’s amazing how many economists don’t understand economics.
There’s a reason the left only consults students of Keynes when they tout these plans. The Austrian school of thought would never support these spending boondoggles…
They called my hairy beast Golden Doodle for economic advice. It gets everything for free so naturally it is a Marxicrat. Build Back Better is a LIE. It should be Bilk Back Better. The People will get Bilked. Only the politicians will win along with their big money donors, hand out academics, and the prostitute media. You know who they are. THE PEOPLE will lose big time. Why would anyone listen to AOC. She has even less brain power than Dopey King Xo the Idiot of Brandon.
“Build Back Broke” is more accurate, and that’s before we let millions of illegals start voting for free stuff from the tax coffers.
Biden claimed to be fighting for the “soul of our nation”, but now everyone sees he was only after the nation’s wallet.
Republics die when the citizens realize they can vote themselves the treasury.
