America’s trillion-dollar man

Published May 4, 2021 4:00am ET



In his first 100 days, flip-flop President Joe Biden’s rapid retreat from the unifying bipartisanship he promised as a candidate has been eye-opening, to say the least. Instead of extending an olive branch to Republicans to address the critical issues facing our nation, Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and congressional Democrats have thrown any semblance of unity out the window in pushing their hyperpartisan agenda.

In just a matter of months, the president has proven that liberal forces are pulling the strings in his administration. His signature legislative items, an “infrastructure” package, which would vastly expand the government’s footprint and focus more on expensive left-wing social programs than traditional infrastructure, and the so-called “COVID-19 relief” package passed in March, add up to $6 trillion in new spending. America’s new trillion-dollar man will pass on $46,000 of new debt to every household in the United States.
