What’s Happening:
Joe Manchin shocked the country when he backed Biden’s latest tax and spending bill. But America was waiting for moderate Sen. Sinema’s decision on the bill.
She was silent for several days. Now, she’s agreeing to a bill that will raise taxes, drive up inflation, and hurt the economy.
And the folks back home are not pleased.
From Fox News:
“I hope she doesn’t cave. I really do. I like her. Even though I’m a conservative, I really like her. I hope she doesn’t,” he added…
“As far as I’m concerned, you just don’t know if that much money is going to combat inflation,” resident Joseph Nunez said. “But without solid, concrete evidence on how it’s going to work, I really don’t think she should back something that’s three quarters of a trillion dollars. That’s a lot of money.”
Even liberals are upset with Sinema’s decision, especially her desire to eliminate a tax loophole for the rich.
From MSN:
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., wants Democrats to drop a measure addressing a tax loophole used by hedge fund managers and private equity executives…
“We can only assume that she’s been motivated by the money they’re donating to her campaigns,” a former Sinema staffer [said’. “…I never thought she would just toe the party line… It makes you a corporate shill.”
Woah, Sinema is getting it from both sides. The Democrat senator from Arizona recently announced she was on board with Biden’s new tax and spending bill.
Voters back home were mixed, suggesting they weren’t sure how the bill was actually going to lower inflation.
But plenty of them were vocal, criticizing Sinema for backing a bill that will burn through almost a trillion dollars—with plenty of tax raises.
Don’t worry, though. Sinema is against raising taxes… on hedge fund managers. Yep, once again, Democrats are working to ensure the super-rich are taken care of.
This upset liberals, even one of her former staffers. The person accused Sinema of being a “shill” for taking money from “right-wing” donors.
So… let’s get this straight. Republicans are upset because Sinema is supporting a massive spending bill.
But leftists are upset because she is lobbying to remove a tax on the wealthy?
It’s official, it never pays to be a Democrat in D.C. Their inability to put Americans first always leads to pain and suffering.
Key Takeaways:
- Sinema announced she supports Biden’s new tax and spending bill.
- Conservatives blasted her for supporting a bill that raises taxes and increases spending.
- But even liberals, including one former staffer, accused her of being a “shill” for Republicans.
