With the COVID-19 relief bill now signed into law, it can’t be any clearer that Americans have had the wool pulled over their eyes on what this really was all about. Far from “COVID relief,” the mantra of the far-left Democrats, it was really all about “Blue State” relief.
That’s right, in case you haven’t been paying attention, the bill that many Americans thought would bring them fat checks and some reprieve from their government-induced lockdown woes has turned into a giant Christmas tree surrounded by goodies for Democrat-run Blue States and their Big Labor allies.
As we’ve pointed out

Hmmmm... does spending that 1.9 trillion we don’t have, now become part of our “baseline” budget and we now are required to spend that additional amount every year.......or is this a one redistribution of wealth, seeing as how we don’t bother doing a budget anymore. We are so incredibly screwed.......

Why does it seem - so often - that we learn about things after the fact. Why aren't we able to go to a web site and read about legislation before it is voted upon? Perhaps it already exists. Then it should be publicized.
A little like the Holocaust. How many people said - after the fact - "If only we knew". Some people did know, and I agree with poster #1.

If there was a RULE that only "CLEAN BILLS" could be submitted without the payoffs, goodies, patronage to lobbyist supporters, kickbacks, and favoritism that does not serve We The People, there would not be ANY problem.
Even President Trump got suckered into this big spending kind of bill that was tagged as "Covid relief"
The weak representatives in the republican party SOLD US OUT back in the 1990's when President Bush said "Read My LIps, NO New Taxes" and then FELL for a demonat temptation that the addition money would be spent to "trim the deficit". At that time, there was a vote in Congress to pass a Balanced Budget AMENDMENT supported by Representative Charles Stehnolm of Texas that failed by only a few votes.
Nobama DOUBLED the national debt, and now we have gone from about $10 trillion in debt to well over $30 million in just the last 11years, and there is still over $1 trillion NOT spent from the last "Covid Bill".
Upon inspection, about 90% HAS NOTHING TO DO with Covid. Bernie Sanders wrote this bill. There is a provision in the bill to PREVENT states from every CUTTING TAXES.
The republicans have sold their SOUL because they have abandoned long-held tenets of "smaller government", "less regulation", "less spending".
We were taking 40 cents of every dollar to borrow money, not is is way over that and will break U.S. which will lead to a socialist take over when we have spent all the money that we make and no one will allow us to borrow money-- 1930's Germany here we come!

I just read that the city of Youngstown will receive $88 million in federal stimulus funds, thanks to the $1.9 trillion raid of the treasury. Here's the kicker: in a recent year, the city's annual budget was just $78.5 million.
Why would the city get $88 million, and what will they do with that tainted cash?

There is no wool needed, when people have their eyes closed tight.
No, they are doing what they do with bright lights on....no need to hide any more.
The criminals are quite confident that law and order is dead in America.

This is no longer a country.
I don't know what it is, but it is no longer a country, not like the United States was until recently.
We are done.
And all this to benefit so very few?

Is all this "stimulus spending", since last year we're at 6 Trillion Dollars and counting, going to be tacked onto the budget base line as happened with Porkulus in 2010? After that scam the federal budget jumped from 3 Trillion to 4 Trillion. Throw in the monies currently in play, every every single penny of it borrowed, and you are looking at an annual federal budget in excess of 10 Trillion Dollars with only about 30% being actual revenue. That represents about half of output of the ENTIRE economy of the USA!
