In the new 3 1/2 trillion dollar bill that the dems want to pass, on page 168 of the 2400 page bill is the following. For every employee who is not v******ted the company he works for will be fined 750,000 dollars. That's right $750,000. This mandate is the only time in American history where treatment for ANY disease is forced upon the public by the government. Name any disease. There is no federal mandate for treatment. No matter how deadly or contagious NO federal mandate. So if you weren't sure . ANYONE who v**es for the bills passing is a certifiable lunatic

“Build Back Better Act”. Could they come up with a more ridiculous name?

IDguy Loc: Idaho

Now calm down and follow Nancy’s lead. We can find out whats in it after it is passed.

That worked for Obamacare.

It's not a ridiculous name. If you look up build back better the phrase is on the world ecomonic forum webpage as one of their slogans. They want to totally t***sform government and finance worldwide and ultimately have one world government, with all the people of the world financially equal.

And, if you look at the act, that is indeed it's purpose. So, they are, for once, t***hfully saying what the purpose of the act really is.

lonedog Loc: DC area

But they are not building America back better. They are purposefully destroying it.

soba1 Loc: Somewhere In So Ca

Nooooooo you are just being paranoid. Just look at all the low wage workers they are letting in.
We can get it done at bargain rates

rook2c4 Loc: Philadelphia, PA USA

$750,000 isn't quite enough. $800,000 would be better.

btbg

I'm not arguing that point. I was just saying where the name came from. I agree that the intent is not to build a better America. Their intent is to build a one world order.

Successful presidents lead without dictating and coercion.

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

You should have told trump that.

Blurryeyed Loc: NC Mountains.

LOL.... Biden is failing and we will all pay a price.

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

We started paying in Jan. of 2017.

Huey Driver Loc: Texas

You seriously think even one of our over paid, under worked, lying Politicians has taken the time to read all 2,400 pages? I seriously doubt it. They are too busy working on filling their deep pockets and what they need to do for their next re-e******n.
