Pelosi aiming to pass $2T social spending bill before Christmas
The Hill ^ | 12/08/2021 | Mike Lillis

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) predicted Wednesday that both chambers of Congress will pass the $2 trillion expansion of social benefits and climate programs โ€” a massive package at the heart of President Biden's domestic agenda โ€” before Christmas.

"We feel very confident about what is in Build Back Better," she told reporters in the Capitol. "We know what some possibilities are, and it would be my hope that we would have this bill done before the Christmas vacation."

That same bullish timetable is also being trumpeted across the Capitol by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is scrambling to rally his party's centrist holdouts behind the enormous spending bill, which features a host of Democratic economic and climate priorities.

She always says that even when she knows there’s not a hope in hell that it will actually happen.

In other words, she always lies.

Manchin may hold things up in the Senate. Pelosi is the House.

Some reports, maybe wrong, said he is for passing it next year.

As crazy as it sounds, this will probably be the first opposition to anything Biden has done.

Theyโ€™ve already done record Spending. This is just the cherry on top. So, I can see opposition to this, as itโ€™s rather obvious theyโ€™re close to total surrender.

Fight over the last 2 Trillion, while they passed spending bill after Pork bill after Emergency spending since Biden showed up.

In other words, I donโ€™t see any way the drunk sailors that sold out their Country can hide letting this go through.

Now, they have to pretend and act.

The Freeloader Socialist Bill. Everything is “free” like the phone call to a health insurance salesman on TV.

Remember the story of the condemned man promising to teach a pig to sing? When asked why he made such an outlandish promise, he gave a very sensible answer. One, the king may die, two, I may die OR the pig may sing!

Nancy is hoping the pig will sing! If she says the bill will pass next year, the bill is dead! If she says she needs more time to pass the bill, it is dead! Promising it will pass by midnight 31 Dec, costs her nothing, and the pig may sing!

Typical Pelosi tactic.....she purposely dragged this into the Christmas season while she caters her Christmas Holiday events and makes everyone else in Congress suffer her sleepy ploys.

The Uniparty wants to keep the final bill under wraps because it is full of Marxist garbage. The Dems will ram the Green New Deal through both houses now that China Mitch has cleared the Senate decks for passage.
