Americans for Prosperity launches campaign against infrastructure plan, targets Stephanie Murphy

[TexasTowelie]

Americans for Prosperity, a libertarian advocacy group, has launched a campaign in opposition to President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure proposal. The campaign will focus on 27 lawmakers, including Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, in order to drive opposition for the plan.

The group launched the campaign Thursday, describing it as a seven-figure, national campaign called “End Washington Waste: Stop the Spending Spree.” The goal of the campaign is to rally Americans against the proposal, while offering alternatives, according to the organization.

“President Biden’s infrastructure proposal is a partisan wish list that will cost trillions of dollars, be paid for by historic tax hikes, and do little to improve roads, bridges and airports,” AFP-FL state director Skylar Zander said in a statement.

“Congress has already rammed through nearly $2 trillion in partisan COVID-19 ‘relief’ spending this year, and the last thing Washington should be doing is coming up with new ways to spend taxpayer money.”

1. Suddenly Libertarians and Republicans are against large spending?

I thought they had changed their focus once President Obama left office. When asked by a reporter what changed their minds about debt once the orange man got in office, Ted Cruz said they have learned it is actually a good thing to have a lot of national debt. Now that has changed?

I'm not rich enough or don't make enough money to have an increase in taxes. I have always made under 400,000 per year, much under that actually, and I don't own a huge corporation so I'm not worried about the taxes.
