The House will return early from its scheduled summer recess the week of Aug. 23 to take up the budget, so committees in both chambers can begin work fleshing out the party\u2019s vision for what would be the greatest change to social welfare since the 1960s\u2019 Great Society.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Despite the resolution\u2019s passage, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) indicated that he may not continue advancing the measure over budgetary concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cEarly this morning, I voted \u2018YES\u2019 on a procedural vote to move forward on the budget reconciliation process because I believe it is important to discuss the fiscal policy future of this country,\u201d he said in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchin.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/manchin-raises-serious-concerns-about-35-trillion-budget\"><span>statement<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cHowever, I have serious concerns about the grave consequences facing West Virginians and every American family if Congress decides to spend another $3.5 trillion\u2026 Given the current state of the economic recovery, it is simply irresponsible to continue spending at levels more suited to respond to a Great Depression or Great Recession \u2014 not an economy that is on the verge of overheating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Many conservative lawmakers dubbed the Democrats\u2019 efforts a \u201ctax and spend spree.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn the last six months, Democrats under Joe Biden have already spent more than $3.1 trillion,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inhofe.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/news-inhofe-opposes-democrats-35-trillion-tax-and-spend-spree\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span> Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK). \u201cNow, with more than 70 percent of Americans concerned that Democrat spending will cause spiraling inflation, they want to add another $3.5 trillion. That\u2019s not only irresponsible \u2014 it is reckless. Overall inflation has risen at the fastest rate in over a decade and core inflation is at the highest level in nearly 30 years, but instead of cutting back, Democrats want to double down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cFrom the first moment this reckless budget was unveiled, I was against it,\u201d added Sen. Todd Young (R-IN). \u201cThere\u2019s a difference between smart, targeted investments that have long-term positive results and the out-of-control spending Democrats want for their socialist agenda. It is especially regrettable that Speaker Pelosi insisted on tying infrastructure to the massive tax-and-spend bill that Democrats intend to ram through as soon as they pass the budget. This left-wing wish list will only raise taxes and hurt American families,\u201d said Senator Young.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
