This is a major problem Congress and the White House both share. For example, President Biden is promoting a $2.3 trillion infrastructure bill. OK. Here's the problem. The USA taxpayers will pay double or $4.6 trillion for this infrastructure bill if passed as is.

If someone has an insight into their sick and depraved minds, I wish they would share it with the rest of us.
In response to last week's election reform Speak Out article, this nation is NOT a democracy. It is a representative republic.

And you have the nerve to call Republicans poor losers! Look in the mirror!
