Rep. McCarthy: Biden Admin Proves Big Gov't Socialism 'Isn't Working'
House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Sunday declared the Biden administration is proving that “big government socialism isn’t working.”
In an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” McCarthy — who last week delivered an 8-hour, 32-minute attack on the Build Back Better Bill, delaying a vote on it — the longest speech in House-floor history — said the lessons from a year of “one-party rule” are clear.
“What we really found was … big government socialism isn't working,” he said. “It is not working when we have the highest inflation in 31 years. These gas prices — the big government cripples American industry but begs OPEC and Russia to produce more. When our military is focused on woke-ism instead of defeating and winning and keeping up with China. We watched our attorney general now in a big government socialism, turns and goes after parents. … that's what drove me to keep talking [against the Build Back Better bill]. So the American people could understand.”
The speech, however, didn’t stop the advance of the nearly $2 trillion social spending bill, which was approved early Friday.
On Sunday McCarthy stood firm.
“We know that the president and the Democrats have been lying to us all along, saying the bill was paid for,” he said. “Even if you listen to the chief of staff who would brag that this bill is bigger than the New Deal, that they are spending more than America spent to win World War II. But why? For bigger government. This is what happens when you have one-party rule.”
The legislation is among the most expensive in years — and is similarly astounding in its reach, It rewrites tax, health care, environment, education, housing and other policies, shoring up low- and middle-income families, helping the elderly and combating climate change.
“It's a socialist wing of the Democratic Party that have taken over,” McCarthy said. “Never before in American history has a bill so big gone through. That's the worst part about it simply does not work when the government of the majority party wants to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to pay for this bill,” he added referring to the
Biden plan to add more agents.
“If you think they're just going after millionaires, you are wrong. Anyone who spends $28 a day,” he claimed. “The IRS is going to be spying on what you are doing.”

"Socialism isn't working."
Well at least he avoided the "C" word. Funny socialism isn't working (inflation after a pandemic, gas prices which are cause by global prices), and the Socialist Bill has not even been signed into law.
