He added, Democrats are \u201ctanking\u201d the bipartisan infrastructure bill and slammed the left\u2019s reckless spending spree.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have a huge spending bill, a trillion dollar infrastructure bill\u2026what are you crazy?\u201d he asked. \u201c\u2026Obama didn\u2019t even spend a trillion dollars on the stimulus package in 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the discussion, he reacted to the suggestion that Democrats during the election committed to too much up front and are now scrambling to make good on their promises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats went nuts in the winter, they went crazy,\u201d said Podhoretz. \u201cThey were at the point of having $8 trillion of new spending with no consensus. Forget the democratic base, like there was no mandate to do any of this from the American people writ large.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Podhoretz suggested Biden was tricked into thinking he could match past great American presidents. He said House leadership must have told him he could be the next FDR or Lyndon B. Johnson. However, Podhoretz asserted this is just not the case.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Former Reagan speechwriter and columnist, John Podhoretz drops truth bombs on liberal Meet the Press panel about President Biden pretending he has a mandate from the American public to pass his massive spending agenda, driven by delusions of grandeur that he could be LBJ or JFK. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TjhlORy5ZC\">pic.twitter.com\/TjhlORy5ZC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickFondacaro\/status\/1449781116072779779?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Podhoretz said Biden is just not measuring up, while noting George W.
