PIERS MORGAN: President Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan is a reckless tax-hiking green gamble that could kill off America's post-covid economic boom
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 03 2021 | PIERS MORGAN

Posted on 04/03/2021 1:12:13 AM PDT by knighthawk

I once watched a guy run down a tourist beach in Spain throwing money away.

He literally sprinted over the sand, cackling dementedly as he chucked large wads of bank notes into the air and shouted at everyone to 'TAKE MY CASH!!'

It seemed like the most wondrously generous thing imaginable and gleeful holidaymakers sprang off their sunbeds like they'd been electrocuted in a frantic race to grab the booty.

Trump wanted to pass a real infrastructure repair and upgrade plan. Fix and upgrade roads, bridges, waterways, water systems, high speed internet accessibility, and electric grid. This investment would have created jobs and the improvements to the infrastructure would have benefited all citizens for decades, unlike most social programs which serve few and create huge unproductive bureaucracies to administer.

What happened to Trump’s plan? Ask the GOP leaders in Congress.

Pull the switch on this Biden Boondoggle.......it deserves to die a slow agonizing death.
The parasitic Biden Crime Family is all set to get rich quick sucking off the backs of struggling taxpayers.

The Bidens’ unrestrained greed imperils the safety and security of Americans.


Biden’s got a lot of people to payoff.

China’s influence in the United States (and Europe) link the Berggruen Institute with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The Berggruen Institute first rose to national attention after co-founding the “Transition Integrity Project”
which advised on how Joe Biden could seize power on the back of an ostensible Trump victory.

I wonder how much of our tax dollars Joe Biden allocated to the “Transition Integrity Project” in that $2 trillion boondoggle of his.

Relative to the last year, we will have a short economic boom this summer and into the fall, which then will be proceeded by a bust and near depression as the inevitable unintended consequences occur.

Once California, NY and other Blue States open up the economy will look a lot better, all this money that has been printed will flood the markets and make things look better in the short run....

It has already started with food and energy prices, inflation will begin to really get out of hand....

The Federal Reserve will have no choice but to start raising interest rates....

When that happens, look for the economy to tank big time, perhaps near a full blown depression....

For a long time we have lived with near zero percent interest rates...

30-year mortgages are at or below 3%, I paid 11.15% for my first mortgage in the early 80s....

The same goes for new car loans....and everything else...

The Federal Deficit will explode, making the current deficit look like pocket change.....

Most people who have bought a new home in the last 20 years have no concept of high interest rates, it will devastate the housing industry......

Maybe this is the great reset and it’s all planned, but it will be very painful to a lot of people...

If a fool wants to throw away his own money, it's fine with me.
But Biden and all his fools are throwing away *our* money.

We’re still circling the bowl in NYS.

I know of two more women owned small businesses that just went bust.

The owners are big libs, too.

That didn’t save them.

What’s happened to good old liberal fascist Piers Morgan? It’s like he got hit on the head or something, and somehow that set his thinking straight. He’s starting to fly straight into the teeth of the counter culture.

“ What happened to Trump’s plan? Ask the GOP leaders in Congress.”

Wrong.

He battled to pass tax reduction, funding the military and the Southern Border Wall while fending off Russia Russia Russia.

The Dems blocked infrastructure, not the GOP.

I told my brother right after the Supreme Court failed to hear claims on election fraud, We the People are being held hostage.

It sucks to be a hostage.

It’s a shame that there are many, even on FR, that do not see this coming.

Donald Trump said it during his first campaign, that the Federal Reserve and big banks were propping up Soetero to make him look far better than he could have imagined. They’ll do the same with CornPop. Or at least try. But I do t think they’ll be able to hold it off like they did for the other guy.

And Morgan didn’t even talk about the property tax hikes on the way for all the kids that are pouring over the border. And let’s not forget about the crime rates that are rising everywhere. Everything is connected. And there’s lots of checks to be written.

China plays a long game of asymmetric war with the USA, stealing our jobs with massive one sided trade deals, outright buying off Wall Street, Entertainment Industry, and things like the NBA.....

China pours massive amount of Fentanyl into our country thru the drug cartels in Mexico, causing thousands of deaths and a massive drug addiction problem...

They somehow either by mistake or on purpose released a virus on the world destroying western economies....

One major economic gut punch they could do to the US would be to replace the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency...If they can’t replace the US Dollar then become a Co-Reserve Currency...

If that ever happens look for economic Armageddon in parts of the world especially in the USA.....

They can do all these things without firing a shot from their massive military they have in reserve just in case.

Not a lie in anything you typed.

But the long game is, and has been, played by the Dem’s as well. They’ve learned well from their Chinese puppet masters.

What I find funny is, the Left is too stupid to know that this is all a short term contract. White liberals, that have implemented all this nonsense, will soon find themselves pushed out of the way.

The Murderer Kennedy knew what he was doing when he okey domed Reagan with the immigration bill. They knew it would take time, but importing the 3rd world would ensure their ability to stay competitive, politically.

And they’re still having trouble. Which is why we’re seeing what we are at the border.
