I used to think this kind of stuff was just vote pandering. Except the Dems KNOW they have the future elections locked up.
So - my next line of thinking is that they are creating a problem so huge (inflation, debt, etc.) that only BIG GOVERNMENT action can fix it. (And that is where the power grab comes in.)
There are no future “elections”. Voting no longer matters.
Counting is in the hands of the communist junta. This spending is about tanking the American economy and the dollar as world reserve currency.
Then the totalitarians can take the country down the communist hell hole permanently.
