...And They Want $1 Trillion Of Your Money
I don't know if Schumer is arrogant, ignorant, or incompetent. My guess is they will push the narrative that the Republicans don't care about infrastructure, while at the same time failing to mention the incredible amount of debt his plan will add. Maybe if there was someone would have tried to fix shovel ready infrastructure projects...
Big Government: Democrats have a new plan to win over voters in November. Instead of letting taxpayers keep the money they're getting from Trump's tax cuts, they want government to spend $1 trillion of it on wasteful government projects.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer outlined this plan on Wednesday, calling it a "better deal" for Americans.
What it entails is "rolling back" $1 trillion worth of the Republican tax cuts that just went into effect, and spending that money on roads, bridges, schools, electric grid and so on.
There are several problems with this approach, not least of which is that what Schumer is actually proposing is a $1 trillion tax hike on Americans to finance $1 trillion worth of new federal spending.
It is, in other words, just good old-fashioned tax-and-spend liberalism.
The problems with the Democrats' infrastructure plan only start there.

There's also the flagrant hypocrisy of Democrats who, just a few weeks ago were decrying the GOP tax cuts because they would "explode the deficit." Now they are proposing to run deficits of equal magnitude, in order to pay for more government instead of tax cuts.
