The Senate had before it a 2,700-page bill that purports to allocate $1.2 trillion in taxpayer funds to repair America’s infrastructure. Of course, that’s not the case. While a good chunk will repair roads and bridges, vast sums of the money will be used for a variety of leftist wish list items, including large chunks of the New Green Deal. A bill that bad ought to be laughed out of the Senate. Instead, not only did all the Democrats vote for it, so did 19 alleged Republicans.
Of course, it’s a dead certainty that none of the Democrats and Vichy Republicans read the bill. Just as with Obamacare, they were going to pass it to see what was in it. Still, we know some of what’s in the bill and it’s not good. Here are a few examples.
The bill begins the process of installing devices in all new cars turning each car into a breathalyzer. I happen to hate drunk drivers as much as the next person but to have that level of government in one’s car is disturbing.
The bill implements a test system that allows the government to track every mile you drive in real-time. Then, you’ll be taxed on miles. This is, of course, a regressive tax because it will fall harder on lower-income people than on rich people.........To Read More....
Here’s are the 19 Vichy Republicans, every one of whom should be primaried:
- Roy Blunt, Missouri
- Richard Burr, North Carolina
- Shelley Moore Capito, West Virginia
- Bill Cassidy, Louisiana
- Susan Collins, Maine
- Kevin Cramer, North Dakota
- Mike Crapo, Idaho
- Deb Fischer, Nebraska
- Lindsey Graham, South Carolina
- Chuck Grassley, Iowa
- John Hoeven, North Dakota
- Mitch McConnell, Kentucky
- Lisa Murkowski, Alaska
- Rob Portman, Ohio
- James Risch, Idaho
- Mitt Romney, Utah
- Dan Sullivan, Alaska
- Thom Tillis, North Carolina
- Roger Wicker, Mississippi
