From the article (made up by Bush):

The U.S. benefited from over 222 million hours of forced slave labor, or the equivalent of roughly $97 trillion worth of work, between 1619 and 1865 during the end of slavery, the resolution estimates. But unlike the white enslavers, Bush notes, "those who were stripped of their dignity and made to work without compensation, they weren't repaid."

How do you pay dead people? Who pays? I was never a "white enslaver".

Now if they really want to do math, she can now subtract the amount of money paid to black people by the government for welfare and entitlements and EBT cards, free college tuitions for black students, free abortions (mostly black mothers), prisons/jails/housing/food/personnel for the black people who have committed the vast majority of crimes over the decades, repair and monetary losses of capital due to rioting and looting over the decades by black people, etc.

Deduct all of that which has already been paid into the black population over the past 150 years, then whatever is left, find the ancestors of the handful of people (relative to the general population) who actually owned slaves, and divvy the reparations debt among them, because the vast majority of American citizens came here within the past two generations from other countries and had nothing to do with any of it, so that’s just a non-starter right there.

Bunch of rabblerousing greedy grifters with no damn common sense, we have in congress.
