Infrastructure Bill:
The Senate just passed a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill—and teed up another $3.5 trillion bill in the process. One of the Republicans that voted for the bill was Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt.
Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday night, where he criticized those Senate Republicans who went along with Democrats on a massive $1 trillion infrastructure spending plan.
The $3.5 trillion document is a full-on attempt to remake the American economy, the labor markets, blow off our immigration laws, rewrite the tax code, impose a climate agenda, and profoundly alter the relationship between the government, and those it governs.
