How much to replace the printing presses at the treasury dept when they break down from over use?
Can someone get this imbecile a dictionary turned to the word infrastructure? That is not homes. it is not electric vehicles. It is not worker training.
FAKE election, FAKE president, FAKE economy, REAL debt.
It sure looks like a lot of over spending.
Bet much of this money will disappear into a dark hole.
How much was allocated for dredging deeper channels in the swamp? With all the bureaucrats pillaging 2 plus trillion, the yacht traffic in the swamp is gonna get congested.
I must have missed #1: Payoffs to Democrat politicians
#2: Payoffs to Unions — that’s sprinkled everywhere.
That about covers $1 trillion.
“FAKE election, FAKE president, FAKE economy, REAL debt.”
At this point, the “debt” is money printing laundered via the Federal Reserve.
We the US citizens are now totally powerless to stop this money printing.
Only the Chinese government can rein in the debasement of the US dollar by closing the Bank of China’s dollar window until Chinese supervision of US/CA/NY/NJ/CT government finances is put in place.
That is the most preposterous thing I've ever hears. All those jobs are open NOW to everybody willing to work hard, show up on time, get trained, don't do dope, follow orders, do good work, and don't sass the boss.
Somehow I don't see a lot of women doing this "clean energy" work...
You'll have to look for all the strings attached in order to find it, but you're right, this is a corruption bonanza.
I have absolutely no confidence that this will result in anything other than waste and economic decline. Fraud is built into so many of these so called programs, indicated just by their names. Did you see the $10 billion investment for Civilian Climate Corps? What are they going to do? They will shut down businesses, kill millions of jobs, greatly increase the cost of energy, and lie, all in a kind of replay of the “Communist Chinese Cultural Revolution”. Wonderful. We could do that for free. Under the Biden regime, this will all happen anyway. Insane.
2- $213 Billion to steal homes from the middle class and give them to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
3- $175 Billion to flood the market with cars that will have no refueling capability after Biden kills the fossil fuels that provide electricity.
4- $115 Billion to inefficiently pretend this is what the $2 Trillion is all about.
“$174 billion to win the electric vehicle market.”
That probably violates both NAFTA and WTO rules.
Stolen elections have consequences.
MAN, that’s a lot of friends of Joe/Barack/ValJar getting RICH overnight!
6- $100 Billion payoff to Teacher’s Unions to ensure Federal Takeover of Public Schools.
“1- $400 Billion for the government to take over assisted living and decide who lives and who dies.
2- $213 Billion to steal homes from the middle class and give them to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
3- $175 Billion to flood the market with cars that will have no refueling capability after Biden kills the fossil fuels that provide electricity.
4- $115 Billion to inefficiently pretend this is what the $2 Trillion is all about.”
EXCELLENT TRANSLATION!!!
-they’re stealing OUR money to further ENSLAVE us.
Folks, we cannot VOTE our way out of this.
