Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that Republicans won’t go along with President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan, a roughly $2 trillion proposal Biden proudly declared would be the largest “investment in American jobs” in over seven decades.

McConnell, speaking at an event in Kentucky, emphasized concerns with the amount of spending that would be required to finance the plan, according to POLITICO. “That package that they’re putting together now, as much as we would like to address infrastructure, is not going to get support from our side. Because I think the last thing the economy needs right now is a big, whopping tax increase,” remarked McConnell.
