Biden has zero credibility on his $3.5 trillion spending bill - or anything else for that matter
[Washington Examiner] President Joe Biden can't seem to settle on how to sell the nation on his $3.5 trillion spending plan. First, the White House tried to convince the country it was a "human infrastructure" bill. When voters refused to swallow that tripe, Biden highlighted the ambitious nature of the plan by selling the $3.5 trillion number itself.

"It is a zero price tag on the debt we're paying," Biden said last week. "We're going to pay for everything we spend."

Biden is really trying to convince voters that $3.5 trillion in spending would cost nothing because he plans to pay for it by raising taxes instead of issuing debt. It is hard to tell which argument is worse ‐ Biden's claim that this is an "infrastructure" bill or that it has zero cost. Both show a White House that treats voters with contempt.

That is over-generously accepting Biden's claim that his $3.5 trillion spending bill won't add to the debt, even though it is quite obviously false.

#3 "Zero price tag."

Costs are just pushed off on a cohort that won't/can't complain about it. Just like all Government "freebies."

#5 $3,500,000,000,000.00 spending attempt is a sign the Dims are becoming more and more radical and destructive financially. The massive debt this creates will give the radicals the financial crisis they need to steal from Americans via the now "desperate need" for higher taxes.
