Court Voids Act’s Ban on State Tax Cuts [semi-satire]

U.S. District Judge Douglas Cole issued a permanent injunction against a provision in the Biden’s Administration’s “American Rescue Plan” that bans states from cutting taxes. Cole called the ban “an unconstitutional usurpation of state sovereignty.”

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen labeled the ruling “dangerous. First, tax cuts cause inflation. Neither judges nor state governments are qualified to unilaterally inflict this hardship on the country. Only the federal government has the expertise and scope of authority to do so. Second, no state has standing to challenge this law until we actually withhold federal aid. The fact is, Judge Cole has gone out of his way to invent an unprecedented limitation on the federal government’s authority to compel states to obey its power over them. Federal aid of the sort included in the Act has traditionally come with strings attached. If states want the federal money they have to abide by the requirements we demand.”

Cole’s ruling disagreed with Yellen’s argument and held that “there is a difference between the long-standing practice of requiring states to match federal funds at a prescribed ratio and dictating state tax policy. Much of the nation’s highway system was built using federal funds matched by state funds. However, the decision on how to obtain the matching funds is reserved to each state.”

Yellen contended that “the broader issue is whether the country is to have unity or anarchy. Letting subdivisions of government decide for themselves how to manage their finances deviates from the mandate voters granted to President Biden in his landslide victory over Trump and his supporters in last year’s election. States seeking to rely on this one judge’s opinion will be denied federal rescue aid if they enact any tax cuts. We are confident that in the end the US Supreme Court will side with us on this issue ”

According to yellen: “Only the federal government has the expertise and scope of authority to unilaterally inflict this hardship on the country. “ Maybe the judge and the rest of the country is tired of you inflicting hardship on the country.

Satire or not, what Yellen said is dangerous.

Tax cuts cause inflation?????

Only the federal government can cause that?????

Interesting inasmuch as the 20th century Swamp dwellers long ago eliminated the very substance the Constitution requires us to tender!

If you’re reading this, you are exceptional. A sad fact is that many of us no longer READ!
Fedzilla LOVES THAT!!
That sad fact is what moved me to produce a somewhat primitive AUDIO version of one of the most important books written in my lifetime, “MIRACLE ON MAIN STREET” (MOMS) by our late friend, F. TUPPER SAUSSY.
I broke MOMS down into 11 short videos and posted them to BRIGHTEON.
Now that Biden & his criminal buds are writing a new & more destructive chapter in the saga known as INFLATION, I’m sending this email with links to Chapter 1 (61/2 minutes) and Chapter 3 (8 minutes).
Chapter 3 deals with the Founders’ history with the insanity of inflation and how they TRIED to keep us out of the mess developing in the economy as Fedzilla continues to violate Art.1, Section 10 of the Constitution.
(”NO STATE SHALL... MAKE any THING BUT GOLD AND SILVER COIN A TENDER IN PAYMENT OF DEBTS.”:
If you also believe America is worth saving, please share with others.
