Dear Republicans: You don’t get to complain about “out-of-control spending” when your first bill in the House majority this year was a bill to add $114,000,000,000 to the deficit to make it easier for rich people to cheat on their taxes.

By the way, the same corporations telling us they have no choice but to raise prices are simultaneously spending billions of dollars on stock buybacks to enrich their wealthy shareholders.
Democrats Deliver and are bringing more manufacturing jobs home.
Quote Tweet
Under the previous Administration, 170,000 manufacturing jobs were lost.
Under President Biden, 800,000 manufacturing jobs have been created.
That is the fastest growth in 40 years.
Right as American families are starting to breathe easier, House Republicans propose a 30% sales tax on everything from food to clothing to school supplies.
We should be making life more affordable for middle-class families – not more expensive.

The Inflation Reduction Act shows how the government can work for American families, not just special interests. For the first time in decades, billionaire corporations have to pay a minimum 15% in taxes, funding much-needed investments in clean energy and good-paying jobs.

So...the decision to shoot down the thing was done on Weds. We monitored it, jammed its sensors, and gained intel on its capabilities, waited until it was out range where a crash could cause civilian harm, shot it down, and this is what is causing a million MAGAs to lose it.

Common sense idea to strengthen Social Security! This should be an easy fix in Congress!
Quote Tweet
Sen. Schatz’s SAFE Social Security Act of 2023 will increase Social Security’s modest benefits — and it’s fully paid for by scrapping the payroll contribution cap.
That means high-income CEOs will contribute at the same rate as blue-collar workers!
On this day 83 years ago, Democrats Delivered the first Social Security checks ever!
Republicans were against Social Security then and continue their threats now.
Democrats will #StopTheRepublicanTaxScam and threats to balance the budget on the backs of America’s seniors. -NP

One of the biggest reasons the federal debt has exploded is that tax cuts on the rich have reduced government revenue.
The 400 richest American families paid a tax rate of 3.4 percent between 2014-2018, while the rest of America paid an average tax rate of 13.3 percent.

The US economy is in a strong position. Annual inflation is at the lowest level in more than a year. Lowest unemployment rate in 50 years. Nearly 11 million jobs created in the past two years.
The Republicans' self-imposed debt crisis is intended to stop this economic progress.

If you are a senior who was struggling to pay for your insulin, thank a Democrat for mandating a lower cost.

Some seniors used to pay $400 a month for insulin. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, that cost is now capped at $35 a month for seniors on Medicare.

Here’s your reminder of one of the historic pieces of legislation Democratic leaders were able to accomplish under President Biden. Now projects are being started that will make real differences to support our communities. Most Republicans voted against infrastructure spending.
Quote Tweet
Our infrastructure law is going to replace poisonous lead pipes across America.
In 2020, 55 Fortune 500 companies paid $0 in federal taxes on $40 billion in profit.
President Biden is putting an end to this with 15% minimum tax on billion dollar corporations.

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complaining about the debt ceiling, remember that approximately 25% of the total national debt was incurred during the Trump administration.
The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in politics.

Not a single Republican candidate for governor has objected to the GOP push in Frankfort and D.C. for sales tax increases.
Not one.
While the GOP pushes middle-class tax hikes that force you to pay more, has a track record of lowering costs for working families.

If Republicans hadn’t spent nearly $2 trillion on the Trump tax cuts for giant corporations and hollowed out the IRS to help wealthy tax cheats, the United States wouldn’t need to raise the debt ceiling this year.

Notice how only in recent history has whether we would pay our debts been used to extort Democratic leaders to give up rights for the American people. They spend with abandon under Republican Presidents and then refuse to pay for it holding us hostage. Pass a clean bill.
Anyone remember this mess that occurred under Matt Bevin? It looked suspicious back then and looks even worse now. Anyone bother to ask McConnell and Paul about this lately?
