Dear Fellow American,

Click here to urge the Senate to reject the $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill that is NOT paid for!

The Senate is set to vote on a $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill on Saturday in a vote that will require 60 votes, meaning President Joe Biden will need at least 10 Senate Republicans to vote to go along with it.

The bill breaks down with $110 billion of direct spending, $415 billion of discretionary and increase Department of Transportation contract authority by $196 billion to $789 billion through 2031 (the remaining $593 billion of contract authority was already in place in the baseline by Congress), according to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate.

Overall, that will add $256 billion of new borrowing, adding to the national debt, according to CBO. That’s not cheap.

But Committee for Responsible Federal Budget straightens that out, writing in its analysis, “On net, the legislation would cost over $340 billion based on its direct effects.”

That’s not paid for, despite what was promised by Senators headed into this mess.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) had previously declared, “This is a bill which is paid for.”

“This is paid for. Our infrastructure bill is all paid for,” Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) claimed on Aug. 1.

Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) had promised, “It’s paid for… We do it without raising taxes.”

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Arizona) said the bill “ensure[s] that we were paying for this package, and doing so in a way that was responsible and that was defensible.”

Tell it the voters. Since Jan. 2020, the national debt has skyrocketed by $5.25 trillion to $28.4 trillion with all of the emergency Covid spending, with much of it financed by the Federal Reserve’s printing press.

This will only add to it. It NOT paid for!

Tell your Senators that NO is the only right answer to this spendathon!

Making matters worse, the bill will pave the way for the next big spending boondoggle, the $3.5 trillion that House and Senate Democrats plan to pass on a 50-vote threshold in the Senate on budget reconciliation. That is to say, they won’t need any Republican votes.

that means Senate Republicans in favor of it have made it that much easier for Democrats to pass their $3.5 trillion spending plan, by reducing the amount of deficit-spending they need to offset.

As Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned on CNBC on Aug. 5, “My view, and I think the view of a majority of Republicans, is that this is effectively a gateway drug that is facilitating the $3.5 trillion bill.”

Meaning, the American people, one way or another, will be paying for the infrastructure bill—and everything that comes after it—for years to come.
