4 thoughts on “U.S. House passes $2T-plus spending package to expand social benefits, fight climate change

  1. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a speech shortly before the vote. “With the passage of the Build Back Better Act, we, this Democratic Congress, are taking our place in the long and honorable heritage of our democracy with legislation that will be the pillar of health and financial security in America.”

    Unmitigated BS. Barring Divine Intervention, stick a fork in The United States of America; it’s done…

    1. Yes, it is our first time in a century of being considered a nation sliding downwards as of May, 2021.

      I don’t think Biden accomplish that in 3 months….

  2. $550 billion on “climate stuff”…

    There are roughly 330 million Americans.

    That is $1,666 per man, woman, and child on climate. If you adjust for the fact that many adults and most children pay zero federal tax, all of us taxpayers are having $2,000+ of our hard-earned dollars taken by the government to be spent on “climate”

    The audacity of it.
