Ahead of Thursday night’s House vote on the Build Back Better legislation, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) used what’s known as a “magic minute” to talk for much, much, much longer than that.

The House does not have a filibuster, but McCarthy did his damndest Thursday night to make it look as though it does. For more than an hour, he railed against the bill, with a price tag of $1.75 trillion, which would be used to fund universal pre-kindergarten, paid family leave, an expansion of Medicare to include hearing ailments, affordable housing, and other provisions.

“Never in American history has so much been spent at one time,” McCarthy said on the House floor.

Actually, the $1.75 trillion will be spent over the next 10 years. By comparison, the U.S. is slated to spend nearly half that on military spending in the next fiscal year.

2. Will he have his Emily Litella moment?

Uh, Kevin?

What is it? I’m trying to give a speech here!

That money is to be spent spread out over ten years. That is only $175 billion a year.

Oh! Well, that is very different, isn’t it?

Yes, it is, Kevin.

NEVER MIND!
