Christmas comes early for government in the form of the American Rescue Plan
SHARYL ATTKISSON.com ^ | SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 | BY SHARYL ATTKISSON

So much taxpayer money was handed out as part of the emergency "American Rescue Plan," agencies and communities are scrambling to figure out ways to spend it all.

In some cases the spending of the $1.9 trillion ($1,900,000,000,000) has little to do with Covid-19. In other cases, it expands government bureaucracy and rewards its bureaucrats over citizens.

CDC has just announced a massive spending effort with money from the American Rescue Plan that includes spending $400,000,000 tax dollars to support "recruitment, training, and development or a new generation of public health leaders" in partnership with another federal agency: AmeriCorps.

n Alachua County, Florida, county officials have voted to approve a plan to use American Rescue Plan give anybody $25 for each shot they get in September, including a third booster (which is not yet approved for the general public).

Alachua County officials say they don't have enough cash to offer the benefit to residents who already got their vaccines.

However, county officials voted to giving themselves much more generous benefits than they're offering the residents they work for.

First, unlike benefits offered to residents, they are rewarding themselves if they've already been vaccinated. Alachua County employees who are already fully-vaccinated will receive $500.

In addition, county employees who get vaccinated now will get $250 in gift cards per shot, or a $500 payment for the Johnson & Johnson shot. The $500 payments are twenty times what they are offering residents.

Alachua County employees will also receive a $10 per month reduction in insurance premium payment for every family member vaccinated.

A county employee who has a vaccinated family of five will get a $50 monthly reduction in insurance costs, or $600 a year, in addition to the $500 payments.

I’m old enough to remember when Mitch wouldn’t give Trump & those two Georgia senators an extra $600 for COVID.

When an insurance company is standing in front of the State Insurance Commissioner, how do they justify these arbitrary premium increases? They certainly don’t have any research or claims history to justify any of this.

Has a single so called leader uttered a word about the increasing tyrannical mandates/restrictions being imposed on our citizenry?

I sure don’t hear much from anyone in DC about all of this increase in XiDen’s tyranny.

I’m sure Ted, Mike Lee, Marsha, Tom Cotton, Sen Kennedy, and a slew of other Senators and House Reps are preparing their speeches, for their 24/7 presser, standing up against this nonsense, now.

🙄

😡

Don’t worry this is a bluff. No amount of money can make this work and Americans are not going to participate.

How did they even find words to express their stupidity?

“In Alachua County, Florida, county officials have voted to approve a plan to use American Rescue Plan give anybody $25 for each shot they get in September, including a third booster (which is not yet approved for the general public).

Communists always protect their own...

When one considers the scale of the current federal government, the state governments, and the local governments, the total bureaucracy of the former Soviet Union pales in comparison...

Probably the endless number of so-called non-profits who feed at the trough of the government’s beneficence should also be included as well...

Any solution would require at least several million scaffolds working 24x7...

I live rural. I have a perimeter fence & 3 perimeter gates. 2 will be chained AND PADLOCKED as of tomorrow. Main gate will only be open during daylight hours, and new bright red/white NO TRESPASSING signs are going on all 3 gates.

MY other readiness includes CLEANED-—OILED-— LOADED—CHAMBERED.

HOW many is the real question.
