Senator Bill Hagerty, who was kind enough to come on our show a number of times, refuses to vote for unanimous consent to close down further debate and amendments to the infrastructure bill. Why? Because the CBO just scored it as a $256 billion deficit. In other words, the pay-fors are not paid for and Mr. Hagerty, whom I’ve known for many years, being a man of principle, objects to the deficit score—period. Now, here’s what I don’t get: According to news reports, 15 other Republican senators were crowding around him on the floor of the Senate to try to talk him into voting for unanimous consent. Well, what were they thinking? These are Republicans. We’re talking conservatives like Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, John Thune… What were they thinking? There’s already far, far too much Green New Deal in this bill. This is not free enterprise. This is corporate cronyism, statist capitalism. Nick Note: to much of anything is a bad thing. Half the cars are to be electric even though they do not have the range most people need especially in the winter when the battery capacity drops. Besides the fact their is not the capacity on the grid to charge the suckers and 40% of the generator power to charge the electricity eating monsters comes from coal the biggest green house gas creators on the planet…… The economy is over stimulated with more stupidness on the way. Creating massive embedded inflation and bubbles in the stock market, debt markets and real estate… This will end in a wipeout the likes of which has never seen before////////
