Senate Democrats fired the starting gun on their vast social spending plans on Monday morning, unveiling a $3.5 trillion budget of funding hikes for economic and environmental programs, setting up an autumn showdown over President Joe Biden's domestic policy ambitions. The 92-page measure lays the groundwork for legislation that over a decade would pour mountains of cash into their key priorities. That includes money for education, health care and environmental programs plus tax breaks for families, funded in large part by tax increases on the wealthy and on corporations.

They know they are spending money they do not have. It like the proverbial emperor knowingly walking around naked, but trying to convince everyone he is regally clothed. The inflation has already started. it will get worse. More businesses will close. More people will be unemployed. We will be dependent on a government that doesn't give a damn about us. The government will be forced to raise cash, but printing it will not work. The government may well force us to work for them. We may be entering into a new era of slavery. Debtor's slavery? This does not end well folks.

Until the right can acquire some semblance of control in the House, Senate and eventually POTUS about the only thing the taxpayer has on their side is time. It takes time for these massive spending give-aways to roll out which means that if power changes to the right, much of the money scheduled to be spent can be cancelled. For instance the original Covid spending plan (actually the Big City Retirement Plan Support Fund) has only been about 50% distributed and will not be completely sent out for another three years. Hopefully anything the Ds get on the books now can be cancelled in a year or two. It's not much but we need to keep sending our CongressCritters letters demanding (not politely asking) that they vote against these irresponsible bills.

And the game continues... The UNIPARTY gets its $3.5 TRILLION, the Democrats once again prove they "can get things done for the little man", and the Republicans can rail for the boobs about how this is terrible, communism, and all that jazz. The suckers will flock to the conflict. Columns will be written. Great dudgeon will be raised. The wailing and gnashing of teeth will be fearsome across the fruited plain. What a production.

The following letter was sent yesterday to my state senators and to each of the Republicans reported as supporting the vote on 'Infrastructure": Dear Senator ______: I am writing to voice my strong opposition to the ongoing tone and direction of the insane legislation being put forth by the Biden administration and the Democratic Party, driven largely by the known and historical motives of the American Left. At the same time, I need to express my ongoing shame that the party to which I have adhered for years just cannot get out of the subordinate role of saying “amen” to every idiocy that comes from the other side of the aisle. It is NOT NECESSARY to offer a counter-proposal to every objectionable thing the Democrats want…a simple “NO!” is often in order! With all due respect, I urge in the strongest terms, with the full urgency and gravity of an American citizen and voter, that you DO NOT support the efforts of the Democrats to ram through the various flavors of the radical HR1 nonsense and the sham 3684 “infrastructure”-related budget legislation. These are radical, wildly dangerous, destructive, and deceptive efforts to drive a spike into good governance, good sense, and sound financial leadership. It is critical that you take the time to consider what the current governing and legislative path supported by the Biden administration is doing to our great nation. The social fabric, national sovereignty, the U.S. economy, public amity, and the solvency and liberty of our children and of theirs are being ripped asunder, and it is the clear impression of at least a great portion of the American public that it is all being done purposefully. Frankly, it is impossible to understand how so many elected representatives can be so blindly and easily led astray by the radicals among you. This is not what our Constitution was designed to make of our great experiment in liberty and self-government, nor where reasonable, rational, and patriotic American leaders would take this Nation. One-sided, self-serving actions by a governing elite and an autocratic Chief Executive in the Nation’s Oval Office are not going to bring us all together and carry this country forward, but rather seem engineered to bring our peoples’ sundry differences and conflicts to a boiling point. Others may discern exactly to whom the benefits of Democrats’ activities are intended to eventually fall, and history will be the final judge. If it is truly all about ensuring the bureaucratic power of an eternal ruling party, I weep for my country. As should you. Conscientious Americans cannot support those who would advocate or encourage driving the Nation incessantly deeper into debt while surrendering control to international powers, autocratic politicians and corporate entities who have no loyalty to our nation. It only makes sense that doing this must be regarded as a dereliction of duty and violation of oaths sworn to the Nation, her Constitution, and her people. I urge you to act with the wisdom and stature of your position. Regards.

#15 - Awesome letter - well stated belief positions and clear intent. However, the partisan cipher that actually reads your tome will stop soon after the beginning of the second paragraph. The reader will write down your name & address and will be added to a) the 'request money ad nauseaum' list or b) the 'thank you for your letter - fkuc off' list depending on your position regarding the stated legislation. Unless your letter includes a check for a substantial amount of filthy lucre, the CongressCritter will never be within 20 feet of your effort. Emails are seldom read by a human. An AI scans the text and decides if you are for/against whatever and increments the count accordingly, after which your email dissolves into protons. I speak from first-hand knowledge. One of the soccer moms on one of our son's teams worked for a Texas state Rep ('D' unfortunately) and she passed along a lot of somewhat disheartening information regarding how the peon's letters are viewed from above.
