You have heard of the recent legislative initiative called “B B B,” haven’t you? What do those three initials mean to you?
President Biden would answer, “Build Back Better.” No surprise here. The Democrats in Washington are obligated to put a positive spin on their proposed spending package. Oh, and by the way, it is not just Democrats. Both parties do it.
If those supporting the legislation were honest (laughter), they would admit that their initiative should be called, “Build Borrow Billions.” Indeed, the number is actually trillions, not billions. But Washington has never been concerned by how many zeros are attached their proposals. What’s a few hundred billion among friends?
All of which allows Senator Manchin to say, “Build Back Bankrupt.” Is the Senator from West Virginia right? What do you think?
