The Democrats seem to be having trouble rounding up the votes to pass their $3.5 Trillion (or $6 Trillion or $1.75 Trillion versions). Strange that the Democrats don’t have a name for this bill, other than its cost. Seem to me that the Democrats packed every social welfare freebie scheme there ever was into the original version. Trouble is, although there are Democrats who like this freebie or that freebie, there are no Democrats that like all the freebies. And each such Democrat thinks they can get the price of the bill down by dropping the freebies that they don’t like. I believe this is how they got the bill down to $1.75 Trillion from $3.5 Trillion. How low can you go?
Answer, you can go to zero. The country has gotten along without any of the freebies in this bill since 1789. We can get along just fine without this bill just about for ever.
It would have been more straight forward to propose a separate bill for each freebie and try and pass it. Instead they jammed all the freebies into one gigantic bill on the theory that the more popular freebies would pull the less popular freebies thru. With luck, we can defeat the whole d**n thing and save ourselves from a humongous tax hike.
