John Hoeven (R) said Democrats were taking the wrong approach and called the legislation a gimmick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is absolutely the wrong way to go. People need to understand exactly what\u2019s in this bill, understand these gimmicks and know this is not what we need for our economy and our country. We need to get back to them pro-growth policies,\u201d said Hoeven.<\/p>\n<p>Hoeven also said Democrat policies are discouraging people from going back into the work force. Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford (R) also called out the White House, accusing the Biden administration of repeatedly changing the intent of the bill.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Democrats\u2019 reckless tax-and-spend legislation puts forward more mandates, more regulations, more taxes and more spending. This bill is full of gimmicks and is absolutely the wrong approach. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iJltkIvfzy\">pic.twitter.com\/iJltkIvfzy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator John Hoeven (@SenJohnHoeven) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenJohnHoeven\/status\/1468327159798239235?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis massive bill that\u2019s sitting out there that is now almost $2 trillion, with around $400 billion in additional debt, originally was all about sustaining our economy, then this very hot inflation continues to rise and now suddenly it is, well this is going to help us fight inflation. And now we\u2019re dealing with unemployment issues and then the Democrats\u2019 line changed to, oh well now it\u2019s going to help with employment issues. In reality, what\u2019s happening is they\u2019re trying to spend more and tax more, and they\u2019re going to make it even worse,\u201d said Sen. Lankford (R-Okla.).<\/p>\n<p>Lankford warned the legislation would discourage companies from investing and basing operations in the U.S. in the future. This comes as the administration has claimed the bill is completely paid for despite a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report that found it would increase the national debt by $160 billion over the next decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of addressing the problems Americans are so concerned about, Democrats are doubling down with bad ideas and then forcing Americans to pay for those bad ideas. Inflation, labor, supply chain, open borders, all of these things are so so very important to the American people and yet nothing is being done abut them. This is what working families in America are concerned about,\u201d stressed Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is aiming to pass the legislation by Christmas.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-blunt-warns-of-damaging-impact-vaccine-mandates-will-have\/\">Sen.
