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 Americaโ€™s energy independence.

โ€œThe 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,โ€ 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.

โ€œSenate Democrats will continue our work to pass historic legislation to strengthen our economy and renew Americaโ€™s middle class for the 21st century,โ€ said Schumer.

McConnell said Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough saw through Democratsโ€™ 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.

โ€œLast 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,โ€ said McConnell.

MacDonough in her guidance said that the Democratsโ€™ provision is โ€œby any standard a broad, new immigration policy,โ€ and that it does not meet the stringent requirements of what can be included in the budget reconciliation.

โ€œThe policy changes of this proposal far outweigh the budgetary impact scored to it and it is not appropriate for inclusion in reconciliation,โ€ 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.
