JASON: The swamp has taken sides. One of the things we were gonna do — had I won the U.S. Senate race, had President Trump had his second term — is go after civil service reform. You have permanent bureaucracies. Politicians come and go. Schedule C appointees come and go. Political appointments come and go. But the bureaucracy stays there. We better do something about that before we have a one-party rule in this country.<\/p>\n

And this one-party rule now is pulling out all the stops for an infrastructure bill, and five Republicans are helping the Democrats get a trillion-dollar infrastructure bill passed when the country\u2019s bankrupt with a $30 trillion debt. What on earth are they thinking about? The Democrats are using reconciliation to try to get this passed, but they\u2019ve got a little problem with the Byrd Rule.<\/p>\n

The Senate parliamentarian has already said, “This is for a budget resolution, a one-time deal.” She\u2019s right. I served on the Budget Committee. We passed three budget resolutions. They were all-encompassing, macro budgets. You can\u2019t just blow out spending and call it reconciliation. Here\u2019s what Rush had to say about this infrastructure stuff.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The Democrats are measuring the drapes in the Oval Office. They\u2019re already plotting how they\u2019ll spend your money. Politico reports that Democrats are “eyeing aggressive budget and spending plans” if they sweep in November. They plan to deploy every tool at their disposal. The Democrats are sick and tired of strict budget caps, the threat of automatic spending cuts. So if they pull off a trifecta — winning the White House, the Senate, and the House — all bets are off.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll use “budget reconciliation” to get around the Senate filibuster so they can spend big on “infrastructure,” clean energy (the Green New Deal), government-paid child care, and other leftist big-ticket items. Senior Democrats are not hiding it. They plan to disperse trillions of dollars on their budget fantasies. Democrat Congressman John Yarmuth — who would head the House Budget Committee — said, “The possibilities are endless!”<\/p>\n

\"\"So, we\u2019ll get endless spending on the Democrat agenda, plus Joe Biden\u2019s promise to raise taxes on businesses and get rid of the Trump tax cuts. Add it all up, and here\u2019s what we\u2019ve got: Businesses fleeing the country again. Massive recessions again. Low economic growth again, millions of jobs down the drain again. Prosperity out the window. The American Dream: destroyed. That is what Democrats have to offer, it\u2019s what they want to offer. It\u2019s what they do best. Do not doubt me, folks.<\/p>\n

JASON: Do not doubt El Rushbo. He\u2019s right, of course, and this infrastructure bill should be going nowhere. The thought that five Republicans (the usual suspects) are trying to work to get this done is a gift to Biden. But the real danger is that if they get infrastructure out of the way, what the Biden administration really plans to do is to wrap everything else up — $4 trillion, $5 trillion, $6 trillion — into a reconciliation bill.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s gonna be a total abuse of the 1974 budget law that says budget reconciliation passes a budget. It\u2019s got to be germane. It\u2019s usually used once, not for endless revisions, and that\u2019s what the Senate parliamentarian has already said. So naturally what did Ilhan Omar say? “Fire her, and we\u2019ll just cram this down the throats of the American people because we want to end up just like Venezuela: Bankrupt.”<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t understand. I really don\u2019t understand why these Republicans are trying to help Biden get an infrastructure bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
