With just a little over two months into the new Biden administration, Democrats are expected to push what they’re deeming an infrastructure bill through Congress and to President Joe Biden’s desk.
However, according to U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover), the bill is not what its moniker suggests. During an appearance on Mobile radio’s FM Talk 106.5, Palmer warned the bill was really a “Green New Deal” bill, a phrase coined by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), which has less to do with traditional infrastructure and more to do with environmental policy.
Palmer said that along with the border situation is giving some voters “serious Biden remorse.”
“I think we’re going to have a long list of things that people are going to be interested in — the border, household energy costs,” he explained. “You’re going to see energy costs go up at the pump but also your household utility bills, opening schools. Just a few weeks ago, I heard a mom out in California who identified herself as a liberal Democrat, who says she and her friends who have kids in school, or can’t get them in school, are changing parties.”
“When you look at what they’re doing on the energy front and what’s coming down the pike on this what they’re calling an infrastructure bill — really a ‘Green New Deal’ bill — you look at that and how it is going to impact the economy, the inflationary impact of all this money they’re dumping in the economy — I think in the next 18 months, there is going to be some serious Biden remorse,” Palmer added.
