What’s Inside Democrats’ 2,465-Page $3.5 Trillion Spending Bill?

Democrats' $3.5 trillion dollar spending package gives the IRS permission, and funding, to snoop on nearly every American's bank account, Jessica Anderson, executive director of Heritage Action for America, says.

The "Biden administration is asking Congress to go ... weaponize the IRS to spy on Americans," Anderson says.

The future of the bill is unclear after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., said he could not support a spending bill over $1.5 trillion. Anderson joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how likely it is for the bill to move forward in Congress, and what we know about the provisions in the package.
