BULLETIN BOARD: “Majority Believe Biden’s Build Back Better Plan Will Hurt Economic Recovery”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Democrats Say Biden Plan Will Help Economic Recovery, Independents and Republicans Say it Will Hurt Recovery
(Austin, TX—November 19, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted November 13th through November 16th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“The American people aren’t stupid, they know that ‘Build Back Better’ really means ‘Biden’s Bonus for his Base’. They see that the economy is recovering on its own. And they know that our growth would accelerate even faster if Washington would simply stop pushing policies and mandates that get in the way and make life harder for the business community,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “The spending spree has to stop. Both parties have created an economic future in which our children and grandchildren will be forced to pay for our lack of fiscal discipline.”
