by the time our children and grandchildren finish paying for these government dependency programs, it s going to amount to tens of trillions of dollars. maria: wow. we re also talking about a pretty heavy cost with regard to inflation that we re all paying more money for, everyday items. let s take a look at some of the moves that we ve seen just as result of all of the free money since march when you signed, when the president signed into law the 1.9 trillion covid relief package. inflation soaring, gasoline up 42%, energy overall 25%. used cars and trucks, 24%. food up 4.5% likings, chicken, etc. like eggs. will we see these numbers worsen if this reconciliation plan goes through? i think we absolutely will because the government will inject trillions of dollars more into the economy. the effect was pretty immediate when the $1.9 trillion came through in march. month over month we ve seen an increase in inflation. it s the most prefer niches
democratic colleagues are having a very hard time moving forward on this massive spending program. maria: so two key questions remain, the top-line number which is what they re focused on. they want to say that they re taking the cost down to $2 trillion or so. and then the sunset. they say that some of these federal programs will sunset, in other words, go away. the top line seems to be 1.7-2.1 trillion range, the sunset question is obviously what can you tell us? bernie sanders started out with 6 trillion. they moved it down to 3.5, thousand they re talking now they re talking around 2. but if they score something rather than ten years for just five years or three years, that s just a trick. what we re talking about is a government dependency program which this bull is chock full of. what happens after families adjusted their style of living to the new payments that are coming from the government? are we just going to put them on their heels and take it away?
