While Democrats advertise their 2,500-page, over $3.5 trillion legislation which aims to expand government social programs to help improve the economic prosperity of Americans, Republicans oppose the increased spending saying it will create an unhealthy dependency on the federal government and ultimately raise taxes on the average American.
Ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said the currently staled $3.5 budget reconciliation bill (The Build Back Better agenda) would put into place social programs that would cause addiction to those government handouts.
