Dems now ‘only’ want $3.5T: Don’t be fooled — it would still kill the economy

Senate Democrats announced Tuesday they’d reached an agreement on a massive budget bill worth $3.5 trillion over the next decade — though they haven’t actually decided exactly how they’ll spend it.

Is this to be another case of, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi infamously said of ObamaCare, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”? The plan represents some slight progress: It doesn’t come close to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ desire for $6 trillion or even President Joe Biden’s proposal of just under $5 trillion.
