Joe Biden is spending like a drunken sailor, and he hasn't even been elected yet. 7-10 trillion. As you know, if a politician gives you those numbers, odds are they're much higher. Here's what scares me, he hasn't even been elected yet and he's spent this much. Now Biden is still being referred to as a Moderate. If he's Moderate, I would hat to see what a Liberal or Progressive would be spending.
He has proposed sweeping spending plans to expand Obamacare, pour money into "green" energy, increase infrastructure, subsidize housing, and pump more money into education. Below is a list of some of those big-ticket items.
Fox has put together a sample list of Joe's spending.
- $2 trillion for climate
- $1.3 trillion for infrastructure
- $750 billion for health care
- $750 billion for higher education
- $700 billion for Biden's "Buy American" plan
- $640 billion for housing
- $125 billion for Biden's opioid plan
- $30 billion for criminal justice reform
- $750 billion for preschool and K-12 education, according to the CRFB (excluding $100 billion for investments in public school buildings that are already included in the infrastructure plan)
- Between $270 billion and $380 billion for paid family leave, according to CRFB estimates on a similar proposal from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
- $775 billion for universal preschool, expanded child care and in-home elder care
