Rep. McClintock 'Terrified' for Economy as Democrats Push Spending Bills

For months, Democrats have been pushing a $3.5 trillion tax-and-spend bill, but they may have hit a roadblock Thursday.

Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., says congressional Democrats' $3.5 trillion bill would significantly harm the economy if they succeed in passing it.

Although Manchin and some other centrist Democrats say they can't support the bill, McClintock says he "Would hate to see the fate of the republic rest on those narrow shoulders."

The California Republican joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to break down the state of the economy and the likelihood that Democrats will be able to pass the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and the other $3.5 trillion spending bill.

Democrats actually wanted to include a measure in that funding bill to raise the debt limit.

Explain what exactly is in this bill and why Democrats are trying so hard to push it through Congress.

Allen: I think it's been fascinating to see how determined Democrats have really been to try and pass these two bills together.
