Biden’s Radical Budget
By U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)
July 19, 2021
National Review
In the coming weeks, Democrats plan to ram a massive, $3.5 trillion spending proposal through the U.S. Senate that would fundamentally transform America into a far-left fever dream. Don’t believe me? Take it from NPR, whose reporters have called the plan a “sweeping restructuring of the U.S. economy.”
Today, the Biden administration and radical Democrats in Congress are making a play to insert themselves into every single chapter of Americans’ lives from start to finish.
…
For our nation’s children, it means more federal control over their early education. This would come in the form of a system of universal child care… Biden now wants to funnel your kids, starting as toddlers, into a government-run system.
And for families with kids of all ages, the Democrats are working to transform the way we raise our next generation… [through] a “government child allowance” that gives cash to parents who aren’t working, as well as dismantles our child-support system as we know it… he’s bringing back the same failed welfare policies of the 1990s that he once railed against.
And just as Democrats are using the government child allowance as the first step toward a universal basic income, they plan to take another giant stride toward single-payer health care…
Meanwhile, the Biden restructuring would destroy America’s domestic fossil-fuel industry. Not only would this eliminate good American jobs across the country… but it would also make America more reliant on hostile nations for our energy needs. China uses slave labor to extract polysilicon for solar panels and rare-earth minerals for batteries. In other words, the Biden administration and Democrats want to trade American jobs for slave labor abroad. It is unconscionable.
And of course, Biden and the Democrats want to create a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally. While there are no details yet, this backdoor amnesty would make the crisis at the border even worse. Every single elected Democrat understands very well that Americans do not want an amnesty bill, which is why they are trying to sneak it into what will be thousands of pages of text, which no one has seen, and ram it through with zero Republican votes.
Democrats are attempting to remake our nation wholesale. And if you want to know what the Left thinks about America and what kind of nation we should be, listen to their critical race theory teachings. Read what the New York Times has to say about the American flag. Watch the Black Lives Matter organization praise Fidel Castro and the Cuban dictatorship. If the Left gets its wish and Democrats pass this boondoggle, we will not recognize the country we would become…
