Under the innocuous title of "infrastructure," a revamping of our society into a socialist state is hurtling through the Senate. A vote is expected as early as Wednesday on the first of two infrastructure bills that constitute a federal takeover of everything from child care to state transportation systems.
While our highways could use some repair, these Democrat-written bills are about nearly everything other than highway funding. The $3.5 trillion Democratic version includes federally controlled universal preschool, taxpayer-subsidized child care, low-income housing, free community college and more leftist fake energy projects like clanky windmills.
Child care, free indoctrination at community college and radical environmentalism have nothing to do with infrastructure. Neither do inner city buses on which hardly anyone ever rides.
This is socialism on steroids. Not a single Republican yet supports the $3.5 trillion version, but Dems plan to pass it later on a 50-50 vote with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaker.

The more the Federal government spends, the more Congress critters can skim off the top and divert to their own pockets. We the People are being stolen blind.
Its taking on massive debt that will produce no economic return.
When companies and average citizens do that, they quickly go bankrupt.
The liberals have redefined infrastructure to include just about anything they wish to spend money on. Childcare is now defined as part of infrastructure. Subsidies for any type of spending or government program are now justified as infrastructure. We are in Orwellian 1984 territory.
Obama’s Stimulus Part II
You would think all of the Democrat’s donors have as much money as they can safely launder by now. But then, the idea is now not to buy off any more supporters but to bankrupt the economy.
National debt? Pfffffftttt! They don’t care.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
It isn’t just wasteful spending. There is a reason the democrats want to create pools of money and $3.5 trillion creates enough to go around DC, they loot it through various ways and it always ends up in their own pockets. That’s how DC works and has worded for decades and why this country is now in deep doo doo. Greed and corruption rules DC.
If we had a real opposition party they would shut down all business in Congress.
At the rate of democrats printing money soon we will have million dollar bill to buy a loaf of bread.
