Democrats are trying to push both a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package through Congress.\xa0\nWhile the former provides funding for traditional infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, the larger latter package provides trillions of dollars for a laundry list of left-wing priorities, Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., says.\xa0\n\u201cThey have fudged on other numbers within it, so it's probably more like [a] $5.5 trillion [bill],\u201d Lummis says of the larger spending package. \u201cIt is the Green New Deal. It is new entitlement programs, and it really is a terrifying, inflation-causing, big government-motivated spending bill.\u201d\nIf the American government does not stop spending at such a rampant pace, the \u201cbest-case scenario is that our dollars will go less far,\u201d Lummis says, adding that the \u201cworst-case scenario is that we put the dollar at risk as the world reserve currency.\u201d\xa0\nLummis joins the show to explain what you need to know about the two spending bills. She also share a bit about her journey to public office and what it\u2019s like to be the first female senator from Wyoming.\xa0\nAlso on today's show, Doug Blair talks with Tom Jones, co-founder of American Accountability Foundation.
