it has all the markings of a Repub bill. No tax increases on the Rich & Corporate even though they're not paying their taxes, yet fully paid for, which means User Fees. As in YOU there, Middle-Class and Working Poor, you're gonna pay a bunch of fees. And using what the Repubs call 'unused covid spending', which does not exist. It's all been appropriated already for local and state governments, which the Repubs were against from the beginning.

Hopefully a bunch of Dems say no. No more Charlie Brown.
