Biden is doing a real bang-up job of instilling confidence in Democrats’ so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which passed Sunday.
While touring flood damage in Kentucky Monday, the President informed a small crowd that had gathered in front of some storm-damaged mobile homes that the bill funds healthcare “and God knows what else.”
Moments earlier, Biden misstated the size of last year’s $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law.
“We’ve never done this before, but because of a number of things we got done on a bipartisan basis — like a billion, 200 million-dollar infrastructure project — like what we’re doing today, we passed yesterday, helping take care of everything from health care to God knows what else,” Biden said.
Yes, nothing says ‘targeted and responsible government spending’ like the phrase, “God knows what else.”
Adding to the excitement of the bill’s passage, Biden noted: “What we’re going to do is — we’re going to see, for example, they got to put a new water line in the community.”
So at least storm-ravaged folks in Kentucky have that to look forward to.
“There’s no reason why they can’t at the same time be digging a line that puts in a whole new modern line for Internet connections. Why? Why can’t we do that? So it’s going to be different. We’re going to come back better than before.”
Sleep well, America. We’re in the hands of enormously capable leadership…
