U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) released the following statement on his vote against the $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill. “I support targeted investment in upgrading our nation’s roads, bridges, ports, broadband, and other real infrastructure needs. But I cannot support more reckless spending on unrelated pet projects that will suffocate our future generations with mountains … Continue reading Tim Scott rips Dems for blowing up inflation

"We shouldn’t be signing up to the Green New Deal, Part I. We shouldn’t be supporting things like breathalyzers in new cars, which will drive up cost of cars. Again, to me, this is a disastrous bill. "
Biden and Democrats are pushing a $3.5 trillion reckless tax-and-spending spree, a package that Democrats admit has the “DNA” of the Green New Deal.
U.S. Senator Steve Daines released the following statement after Senate Democrats unveiled the details of their $4 trillion budget resolution that will radically expand the federal government, increase taxes for Montana families and businesses and put a massive amount of debt on the backs of Montanans. “Montanans are already grappling with soaring inflation and skyrocketing prices … Continue reading Dems spending spree bill packed with ‘environmental justice’ and ‘climate equity’ funds

"Democrats are committed to spending trillions of dollars we do not have. They are foolishly adding to inflation and taxes and shoving the costs on the American people."
Green New Deal regulations when Americans’ gas prices have already shot up. Crushing tax hikes for family businesses and farms as they fight to recover from the recession.

Bipartisanship cannot be an excuse for bad policy. This is not a bill focused on fixing roads and bridges, this is a down payment on a Washington takeover of America’s economy – expanding federal programs and mandates while spending hard-earned tax dollars with little regard for results.
