Biden Draws Ire From Republicans and Pushback From Democrats for $6 Trillion Spending Spree

Contact Your Elected Officials

President Joe Bidenโ€™s $6 trillion in early-term spending schemesโ€”his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that passed with zero Republican votes along with his proposed $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan and $1.8 trillion American Families Planโ€”have drawn sharply critical reactions from Republicans, and more muted criticism from some Democrats, for their lofty price tags.

Biden unveiled his newest legislative proposal, the sweeping $1.8 trillion package for families and education, during his first joint speech to Congress on Wednesday, calling it a โ€œonce-in-a-generationโ€ investment that would bring lasting benefits to the economy, expand the middle class, and reduce child poverty. The plan includes $1 trillion in spending on education and child care and $800 billion in tax credits aimed at middle- and low-income families, funded mainly by tax hikes on wealthier Americans.

Republicans say the bulk of the $6 trillion proposed spending in Bidenโ€™s early term is aimed at satisfying his liberal base, and that it amounts to socialism.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), took to Twitter to call Bidenโ€™s plans a โ€œradical vision for our country that would turn the American Dream into an American nightmare.โ€

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), in remarks from the Senate floor on Thursday, pushed back against what he called Bidenโ€™s โ€œgo-it-alone radicalism.โ€

โ€œThe President talked about unity and togetherness while reading off a multi-trillion dollar shopping list that was neither designed nor intended to earn bipartisan buy-in,โ€ he said.

โ€œA blueprint for giving Washington even more money, and even more power to micro-manage American families and build a country liberal elites want, instead of the future Americans want,โ€ he added.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), known for his willingness to work across the aisle, took aim at the spending levels in Bidenโ€™s proposals in a Thursday tweet.

โ€œIn his first 100 days, the President has proposed $6 trillion in new spendingโ€”about 4x our total federal budget!โ€ Romney wrote, complaining that the sky-high spending would saddle future generations with decades of interest costs and jeopardize their future.

โ€œYou know whatโ€™s hard to do?โ€ Romney said in a video accompanying his tweet. โ€œItโ€™s hard to live within your budget and do good things within your budget.โ€
