The Biden administration asked Congress on Tuesday for at least $24 billion in disaster relief and urged swift passage of a short-term funding bill as a government shutdown looms at the end of September.

White House Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Shalanda Young requested "urgent" spending in a blog post to respond to natural disasters and the relocation of Afghans who partnered with the US during the war in Afghanistan. Specifically, the administration is asking Congress for $14 billion for natural disasters that occurred before Hurricane Ida, $6.4 billion for the Afghan relocation, and it anticipates another $10 million will be approved for Hurricane Ida....

how many of the states he wants to give money to still have slush funds left over from pandemic assistance money? And if the Pentagon isn't supporting troops and contractor wages in Afganistan any more, why do they need more money?

With Biden and Harris, the most powerful wing of our government
has been shut down since January 20th.

It could be argued, only negative governance oozes out.

That would be true.

hey “a@@wipe” JoeBama— why don’t you take the money out of the 89 BILLION in US military hardware your stupid willful thieves in your admin LEFT BEHIND to the Taliban? Try that you stupid SOB. Every state you want to troll this with has NOT used up the pandemic assistance money Trump got them— in the first place.

This administration is searching for any revenue flow they can get their hands on that requires distribution......easy pickings for fraud and theft. They need it badly.

Maybe we should all just go on strike, stop the forced taxation or payrolls and go on freaking strike.

This administration doesn’t deserve on friggin’ dime more from the American worker or businesses.

The only way we stop any of this is to stop the flow of tax revenues to the federal government.

Even then they will just print up what they need believing we will eventually be forced to pay via the IRS.

But really they need to hang their heads in utter shame and humiliation for what they have done in 8 months. They need to be shown the exit door of the White House and not have it hit them in the backside as they leave.

It all needs to stop. I am grateful we had the greatest economy when Covid hit. We are a profitable people and able to care for our own. But these folks in DC right now have no idea what they are doing or they do know and it is treason of the most insidious nature.

Saying HELL NO.

Now where is a military family I can support during the shutdown. We all would need to adopt a family for a few weeks and send that invoice to Joe Biden and the IRS.
