Oct. 19, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats want to hand the IRS new snooping powers to start digging through individual Americans' bank transactions. They want to treat normal American households like everybody is under audit. Americans didn't sign up for this."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 5, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats' reckless taxing and spending spree includes a plot to give the IRS sweeping new authority to snoop on Americans' personal finances and every transaction over $600. Unprecedented surveillance so they can soak the middle class to fund socialism."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 28, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats won't get bipartisan help paving a path to partisan recklessness. If they want to use fast-track, party-line procedures to ram through trillions more in socialism and inflation, they can use the same tools to handle the debt limit."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats have spent all day bragging about their new "menu" of massive tax hikes that will hurt families and help China. A surprisingly honest metaphor for how they see this. Democrats dine on all the socialism and inflation they can eat and taxpayers get stuck with the check."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 14, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats have every tool they need to address the debt limit on their own. Just like they plan to bury Americans in taxing, spending, & inflation on a partisan basis. Democrats have unified control & brag about the radicalism they're ramming through. So they'll be on their own."
Sen. Mitch McConnell

ICYMI: Dr. Rand Paul Offers Balanced Budget Alternative to Democrats' Reckless Tax-and-Spending Spree
Sen. Rand Paul
Aug. 3, 2021
Tweet - "On Democrats' watch, six months in: (special character) Painful inflation (special character) Persistent unemployment (special character) Trillions in runaway spending (special character) Southern border crisis (special character) Continued violent crime surge The more Democrats' policies take effect, the more problems Americans face."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 29, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats' rampant spending has already fueled painful inflation. But now they want to ram through another $3.5 trillion reckless taxing-and-spending spree? That's the opposite of what this recovering economy needs right now."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 28, 2021
Tweet - "More than 80% of Americans are worried about the rising cost of living. More than 70% are worried about slamming our economy with big tax hikes. But Democrats' big priority is another reckless taxing & spending spree that would give Americans $3.5T more reasons to worry."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 26, 2021
Tweet - "Just months ago, Americans were very optimistic. But on this Administration's watch, that has plummeted. Higher inflation and costs, higher crime, COVID uptick, border crisis. Now most Americans are pessimistic. Another reckless tax-and-spend spree will only make this worse."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 21, 2021
Tweet - "Middle-class families are already facing runaway costs. The last thing they need is another massive, reckless taxing and spending spree. It's simple. We need to stop paying people more to stay at home than to work and encourage everyone to get vaccinated."
Sen. Mitch McConnell

Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 28, 2021
Tweet - "Left, right and center, experts predicted Democrats' absurdly overpriced COVID package would damage our economy. Current inflation shows they were right."
