Should Conservatives Care About Spending As The Culture Is Crumbling? – The Federalist

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, President of Americans for Prosperity Tim Phillips joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to break down how Democrats are using the taxpayer-funded infrastructure and reconciliation bills to push their leftist, progressive agendas.

In the next four months, what can the left do to move our nation further down the road, fastest toward their vision, their goal? Phillips asked. Its not Afghanistan, its not the [critical race theory] battle, its not any cultural battle in the next four months. Its pass the three and a half-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill, jam it as full of regulations and provisions that basically bring in the Green New Deal, and the socialized medicine, and Medicare-For-All, and also elements of this union PRO Act, get that passed and signed by Biden and you literally have a third inflection point from the left to follow up on the Great Society of the 1960s.

While Phillips noted bad policy normally is also bad politics in regards to some Republicans willingness to support the infrastructure deal, he believes there are some things the GOP must seek out as common ground to bring people in.

I see the anger and the frustration and its legitimate and real. Its not the final vehicle to winning the country for our beliefs and principles and hopes and aspirations. To do that, weve got to turn outward and woo people to us, bring people to us, Phillips said. Weve got a country to win. And again, the way we do it is not by subtraction well, that person is not pure enough, this group needs to be kicked out. We do it by multiplication.
