Behind closed doors, the MASSIVE $1.7 TRILLION Pelosi-Schumer spending bill was written in secret and released at 1:30 AM so no one would read it.
Here's a 🧵 of TEN REASONS why NO ONE, Republican or Democrat, should support this bill:
Here's a 🧵 of TEN REASONS why NO ONE, Republican or Democrat, should support this bill:
Reason 1⃣: With OVER 4,000 pgs, it's IMPOSSIBLE to read the bill before funding expires at 12AM Friday.
Despite having MONTHS to get this done, Washington elites waited until the LAST MINUTE to release a 4,155 pg. bill negotiated in secret.

Reason 2⃣: @SenateGOP shouldn't turn our backs on @HouseGOP and BETRAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE by giving @SpeakerPelosi her woke wish list just days after the American people fired her as speaker.
Reason 3⃣: ADDS $1.1T to our already $31T+ national debt with NO PLAN to balance the budget.
We MUST get America's fiscal house in order and STOP Washington's wasteful spending before it's too late.

Reason 4⃣: This bill doesn't secure the border. It bankrolls Biden's open-border agenda.
This bill PROHIBITS border agents from using any funds allocated to SECURE our border, & FORCES them to spend it on keeping ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS in the U.S.

Reason 5⃣: Anyone who votes for the Pelosi-Schumer spending bill is single-handedly launching an INFLATION BOMB on American families.
Reason 6⃣: Fails to repeal hiring of 87K IRS agents to TARGET YOU and YOUR small business.
Oh and by the way, DEMOCRATS are using TAXPAYER DOLLARS and INCREASING our national debt to pay for it.

Reason 7⃣: It's 3.5x the length of the Bible for goodness sakes.
We shouldn't vote on things we and the American people haven’t had time to read.

Reason 8⃣: It's packed with THOUSANDS of earmarks aka politicians' pet projects, including buildings NAMED AFTER THE AUTHORS and building bee-friendly highways??
Reason 9⃣: It gives Biden's Education Dept. $2.3 MILLION to get people to apply for its illegal student loan "forgiveness" program. Spending money to illegally spend money makes no sense.
Reason 🔟: It's a BLANK CHECK to Democrats using taxpayer dollars.
The CBO hasn't scored it, so there's a REAL chance it COSTS MORE than $1.7T, and they STILL WANT us to vote on it.
