News Roundup & Comment

We are living in perilous times as much of the news shows us. Here's a sample from this week's 'Round-Up' broadcast:

--Speaking for just over an hour, President Biden delivered his first address before a joint session of Congress this week, downsized due to COVID-19.

--President Biden is calling for another 1.8 trillion in federal spending for his New American Families Plan along with tax increases to help pay for it. This is coupled with the 2.3 trillion infrastructure spending plan from earlier this month. He's also seeking to spend 4.1 trillion on top of the 1.9 trillion from the COVID relief bill. That's 6 trillion total dollars.

--In his Republican response to President Biden's speech, Senator Tim Scott rejected the president's massive spending proposals that would grow government and make Americans more dependent upon Washington.
