Democrats Want to Transform US Into a Socialist Country: Senate GOP Leader

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Democrats are trying to use the pandemic to enact a legislative agenda that would transform America into a socialist country with policies, such as having the federal government fund healthcare and childcare, and ending America’s energy independence.

“The reckless taxing and spending spree the Democrats are writing behind closed doors is designed to leave Americans with a socialist country they never voted for. A country that working families in many ways would barely recognize,” said McConnell from the floor of the Senate on Monday..

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said their $3.5 trillion legislation will allow Democrats to strengthen the economy.

“Senate Democrats will continue our work to pass historic legislation to strengthen our economy and renew America’s middle class for the 21st century,” said Schumer.

McConnell said Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough saw through Democrats’ radical agenda and made the right decision on Sunday, where she ruled that Democrats cannot include a provision aimed to give millions of illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship in their $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation.

“Last night one of those many efforts hit a stumbling block. Senate Democrats were reminded that the rules of this institution will not permit them to shove a massive amnesty for illegal immigrants into a reckless taxing and spending spree that they want to ram through on a party-line basis,” said McConnell.

MacDonough in her guidance said that the Democrats’ provision is “by any standard a broad, new immigration policy,” and that it does not meet the stringent requirements of what can be included in the budget reconciliation.

“The policy changes of this proposal far outweigh the budgetary impact scored to it and it is not appropriate for inclusion in reconciliation,” she wrote, referring to a parliamentary procedure that allows certain budget bills to pass the Senate with a simple majority instead of the 60-vote margin for most other legislation.
