Remember when President Joe Biden promised on Inauguration Day that he would restore “unity” to our politics? That didn’t last long. Now, the president is saying that if you disagree with his spending bills worth more than $4.5 trillion combined (bigger than the inflation-adjusted New Deal!), you are “complicit in America’s decline.”

This comes as Biden and his Democratic allies are trying to ram through an “infrastructure” bill worth more than $1 trillion (which contains a whole lot that isn’t infrastructure) and a spending package worth over $3.5 trillion focused on huge expansions of the welfare state and “Green New Deal”-esque climate subsidies. The president wants to finance this tremendous spending scheme with tax hikes on individuals and corporations (read: workers and consumers).
