Pelosi celebrates spending bill passage, Duncan decries it

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicts “Build Back Better” will be transformational for the climate and health and family care, but South Carolina’s 3rd District member blames the Democrats.  Republican Jeff Duncan of Laurens is worried that the spending measure is radical and irresponsible.  Democrat Pelosi and the other bill supporters say Build Back Better will allow for increased child care assistance, create free pre-school, curb the cost of what seniors pay for prescriptions, and slow down climate change. Duncan said, however, “This will wreck South Carolina’s automotive industry, worsen the economic crisis, hypercharge inflation, ship American jobs overseas, and exacerbate our national debt.”
