Those $4.5 trillion ‘infrastructure’ and ‘reconciliation’ bills are far more radical and dangerous than you think

They are sponsored by people who hate America’s large, prosperous, and politically independent middle class. These “woke” Democrats are determined to break us.

By pure chance, I listened to “Science Friday” on National Public Radio while on a Florida road trip last September 24. I heard host Ira Flatow interview New York Times climate reporter Coral Davenport. The transcript is posted online at Congress Is Considering Two Climate Change Bills. What’s In Them? (sciencefriday.com). The podcast is at September 24, 2021 - Science Friday

Until then, I thought that both the “bipartisan” $1 trillion “infrastructure”, and the “progressive” Democrat $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” packages were just obscenely bloated versions of previous “stimulus” spending we had with Obama and Trump.

Now I know that both bills are far more radical and dangerous. They are sponsored by people who hate America’s large, prosperous, and politically independent middle class. These “woke” Democrats are determined to break us.

The premise of both bills is that by enjoying safe and comfortable lifestyles, we are causing floods, fires and droughts that are ruining the planet. They say this is because we are burning too much fossil fuel. The goal of both bills is to cut America’s fossil fuel use in half during the next nine years. If these bills become law, the federal government will heavily fine every power company that does not systematically shut down most of its coal, oil, and natural gas power plants by then. It would also pay billions as bribes to companies to build and use new solar panels and wind turbines instead.

The federal government would also pay people, businesses, and schools to buy electric cars, trucks, and buses. It would also pay for more solar panels.

Who wants to fund the federal agencies that they would create for who knows what (slavery reparations, open borders resettlement, illegal immigrant home purchase subsidies, purple hair transgender pre-school, etc).

The Final Solution of the Greens is radical population reduction.

See: Club of Rome, where this hoax all started.

Funny how what is NEVER mentioned are

Batteries

To store solar and wind juice

And guess who owns the majority of the minerals and facilities to make
those batteries

CCP China, that’s who.

So who will get paid in the end with all those federal mandated spent US dollars ?

China.

10 % for the big guys
Josef TalyBiden and Obamanation
are sure paying off.

Bribes eh ?

Talk about the long con.

Just when the CCP is on the verge of USSR style financial implosion and collapse,,,

The US Tax payer and multiple future US Citizens are enslaved to ride to the rescue with green new deal dollars.

Smells like treason to me.

So, in addition to massive inflation, it’s going to destroy freedom and tie civil liberties in knonts?
Say it isn’t so!

That has been pretty obvious since day one.
