Mitch McConnell Predicts Democrats' $1.7T Build Back Better Bill 'Will Never Become Law'
Source: Newsweek
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed House Democrats for pushing through President Joe Biden's Build Back Better actpredicting this week that the $1.7 trillion legislation "will never become law."
On Friday, the House passed the massive "human infrastructure" social spending package, and the bill will now go to the Senate where its expected to face substantial changes. If the bill is eventually approved by all 50 members of the legislative chamber's Democratic Caucus, it would go back to the House for final approval.
Ahead of the initial House passage of the act, McConnell told Fox News Radio's The Guy Benson Show on Thursdaythat he doesn't believe it will succeed in the Senate.
"[House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is] literally walking them [Democrats] off a cliff to support a bill that will never become law," McConnell said. The Kentucky Republican pointed to the opposition from centrist Democratic Senators Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia to key provisions included in the House version of the Build Back Better act.

On the other hand if it was $1.7 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires Moscow Mitch would be asking why we're being so stingy.

(10,435 posts)When Democrats are in control, they must give airtime to republicon scum to "present the opposition view".
When republicon scum are in control, they must give airtime to republicons because "they are in power and we have to show what they're doing".
Whatever weasely excuse is used, that's how it works.

(10,435 posts)but Moscow Mitch refused to relinquish control of the Senate until he was sure he could still call the shots when he wanted to. Mainly via filibuster, but who knows what else he got out of Manchin and/or Sinema.
For sure, Manchin hasn't been flying to Kentucky to go sightseeing. So while' I'll believe Biden, Schumer, Pelosi and the progressives, I also don't underestimate the capacity for Moscow Mitch's dirty tricks.
