This $3.5 trillion Bernie-Biden Budget plan would bring us closer to Senator Sanders’s socialist utopia which will deliver misery, economic immobility, and financial ruin for families, small businesses, and our economy.

Here is how it could backfire: ([link removed])
1. Universal Pre-K for 3- and 4-year olds and creates new childcare benefits
2. Permanently expanded child tax credits
3. Establishes a federal paid family and medical leave benefit
4. 2 Years of tuition-free community college
5. Medicare expansion
6. Extreme climate change policies
7. Amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants

** CHAMPION MESSAGE ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

“I’m the mom with the minivan and a mortgage. I could understand the challenges that Iowa families face every day. And I think that’s what people want in Washington right now.”

- Representative Ashley Hinson, IA-01 ([link removed])

** California Lawmakers Are Making the State Even More Expensive for Residents ([link removed] )
------------------------------------------------------------
Trying to reduce emissions produced by cooling, heating, and powering buildings is a laudable and important goal in the long term. But, as it did with its renewable energy policies, California is forcing aggressive climate policies through new building codes ([link removed] ) that will make the state even more expensive for residents, and which will particularly harm those who can least afford it.

** Dismal Jobs Report Signals Labor Force Setback ([link removed] )
------------------------------------------------------------
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, just 235,000 jobs were added in August as the economy struggles with the Delta variant and government disincentives to work. The overall unemployment rate fell by 0.2% to 5.2%, as the economy fell far below even the lowest expectations ([link removed] ) . This should be a sign for Congress to pump the brakes on plans to spend trillions more of federal dollars which will drive worker shortages and inflation. Share this. ([link removed] )

** Critical Race Theory ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Some schools are pushing divisive and damaging curricula on race, teaching kids as young as elementary school about critical race theory and “white privilege,” and even dividing them into “affinity groups” based on race.

We must stop the indoctrination of students before it’s too late.

** The Federal Budget ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a period of unprecedented spending as the federal government spent $3.26 trillion in response to the pandemic. Now Democrats are pushing for economic upheaval in the form of a $3.5 trillion budget resolution package without addressing the debt ceiling and the nation looms closer to the danger of defaulting on our debt.

Can you identify which of the following is NOT true about how our tax dollars are spent?

A. Through the budgeting process, Congress only controls about a quarter of every dollar spent by the federal government.
B. We spend more on other countries than we do on our own people.
C. Our budget operates in the red because of out-of-control spending.

** In Sports, Each Competitor Must Play by the Same Rules. Why Not American Elections? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Just as Texans in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth would want the Astros and Rangers to play by the same rules of baseball, the Texas legislature wants to make election rules uniform for all. Before the Governor even put pen to paper, liberal groups filed lawsuits in courts in San Antonio and Austin, claiming voter suppression of urban voters.

** The Mourning After ([link removed] )
------------------------------------------------------------
There’s an oft-repeated platitude that’s expressed in the aftermath of military loss of life: “they gave their tomorrows for our todays.” It’s a beautiful sentiment and succinctly captures the sacrifice our service members are too often called to make. Yet, it obscures those who have to live with those todays and all that comes with existing in a world without.
