Those trying to obstruct the Build Back Better bill because of “out of control spending” have no problem with national security out-of-control spending even though it has very little to do with national security.

Annual Pentagon budget: $700+ billion Annual cost of the Build Back Better bill: $350 billion If "moderates" are so concerned about spending, why did they just vote to increase funds for the Pentagon?

Without security, building anything is worthless.

Funny how those same people crying about the deficit were ok handing that out almost weekly to Wall Street a year ago. 3.5 for the 10 yrs!! The hypocrits keep leaving that out. Meanwhile crickets from Biden/Harris.

It's fully paid for by raising taxes. That is the problem for the plutocrats.

That’s not true of @RepThomasMassie Build Back Better is a globalist, fascist agenda. The goal is to destroy small business entirely so that everyone is working for a gov’t or corporation, which makes them easier to control. Ex: vaccine mandate 100 employees

Don't call it "national security" that is false framing propaganda-speak. It is maintaining a global empire and terrorizing the world.
