McConnell Blasts $3.5 Trillion Deal

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told reporters Wednesday that the Senate Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget deal is “wildly out of proportion to what the country needs now,” at a time he says inflation is “raging,” The Hill reports.

Said McConnell: “What Democrats say they want to force through this summer through reconciliation would make our current inflationary mess look like small potatoes.”
