Biden Defends His $6 Trillion Spending Proposals

Reagan McCarthy / Townhall Tipsheet

 

President Joe Biden proposed a host of new hefty spending bills, all with hefty price tags. The three main packages, the already-passed American Rescue Plan, the American Jobs Plan, and the American Families Plan all together total $6 trillion in taxpayer-funded spending. The American Jobs Plan is the Biden administration's proposed infrastructure package, that has minimal to do with building real infrastructure, that also includes a corporate tax hike. The American Families Plan takes aim at child care and paid family leave. Both plans include tax increases on Americans.

 

The president is having difficulty selling this high spending number even to some Democrats, but he said that the packages will aid in coronavirus recovery.

“That’s why it’s recovering,” Biden said of heavy spending bills. “We’re investing." 

The president also dismissed concerns about the stature of the spending packages, and argued that only the federal government can build real infrastructure. Read more here.

Court Rules “Ghost Gun” Plans Can Be On Internet

So-called ghost guns scare the crap out of the left. The problem is that they can’t control them. They can’t regulate them, really. Oh, they can pass all the laws they want about it, but you can’t really stop it from happening. Especially in the era of the 3D printer, where you can basically print out an entire weapon.

Instead, what anti-gunners have tried to do is make it so you can’t get access to the files. If you don’t have the files to tell your printer what to make, it’s a lot harder to make a gun.

Unfortunately, a court ruling just hurt those efforts.

Plans for 3D-printed, self-assembled “ghost guns” can be posted online without U.S. State Department approval, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.

A divided panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco reinstated a Trump administration order that permitted removal of the guns from the State Department’s Munitions List. Read more here.
