Build Back Biden? Not with This Price Tag!
|
|
President Joe Biden is doing everything he can to stuff his Build Back Better plan down America's chimneys, but he'll have a much tougher time of it after Friday's news. For the White House, the double whammy of the new inflation numbers and the bill's price estimates are going to make for tough sledding in the Senate, where two Democrats are already wary of the White House's spending bonanza. Trying to sell the country on higher taxes, trillions of dollars in new spending, special perks for illegal immigrants, the Green New Deal, and more social welfare is hard enough in normal times.

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.1155, The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). It's an important bill -- the most important bill -- when it comes to confronting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on its human rights abuse. Yet, while this is an important milestone, there's still a process before it becomes law, and Congress should get moving.

During a season typically marked by festivity and joy, it will be a much more difficult time of mourning and rebuilding for parts of the Midwest and the South after a devastating cluster of tornadoes ripped through numerous towns over the weekend. Kentucky was hit the hardest, with at least 64 people confirmed dead in the state and 105 still unaccounted for, as well as entire towns like Mayfield and Dawson Springs almost completely leveled. An additional 14 people have been killed across Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri.
