American elections/Democrats’ exorbitant expenses and Republicans’ anger
According to IRNA’s report on Wednesday, citing Fox News, the most expensive law approved by the Democrats was the American Rescue Plan, which was valued at $1.9 trillion.
It was followed in 2021 by the bipartisan infrastructure bill, supported by all Democrats and fewer Republicans, and estimated to cost $1.2 trillion.
Democrats this summer managed to pass a $280 trillion bill to compete with China and a $20 trillion gun control bill. The gun control bill also received support from some Republicans.
Finally, they passed the Deflation Act, which was estimated to be between $430 billion and $480 billion in combined spending and tax credits.
In total, the biggest items in the Democrats’ plan totaled nearly $3.8 trillion in new spending in less than two years.
Democrats did not achieve all of their economic plans, which included trillions more dollars in proposed spending. But they say what they did will help them in the mid-term elections.
Although some Republicans acknowledge the success of the Democrats in passing their programs, they see the program as the cause of explosive inflation in America, which is at least partially attributable to the bailout and other Democratic spending.
According to Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley, some of these items, especially the gun control bill and the infrastructure bill, were passed with the help of Republicans.
The US mid-term elections will be held on November 17 to elect 435 members of parliament, 35 senators, 39 governors and a large number of local and state officials across the United States.
Meanwhile, a new poll shows that nearly half of Americans from both major parties are “angry” about the 2022 midterm elections. Democrats and Republicans are roughly equal in expressing their feelings about November’s midterm congressional elections, saying they are “somewhat” or “very much” angry about the election.
The results of this poll were released less than three months before the mid-term elections in the US on November 8, and Democrats are expected to face trouble due to the decline in the popularity of Democratic President Joe Biden.
