Dems' Multitrillion Scam Bill ($3.5T Build Back Better)
Freedom Line Blog CFIF ^ | 9/29/2021 | BETSY MCCAUGHEY

For every left-wing community organization, there's a grant in Build Back Better.

Dems are pushing to pass a multitrillion-dollar spending bill called the Build Back Better Act. It ought to be called the Political Scam Bill.

Buried in the 2,465 pages are numerous billion-dollar grants to unnamed community organizations for vague purposes such as promoting "community engagement" and "creating equitable civic infrastructure."

Translation: Your taxpayer dollars will fund the payrolls of left-wing advocacy groups between elections. In return, they become the campaign army staffing phone banks, harvesting ballots and escorting people to the polls on Election Day.

The Build Back Better bill is pouring tens of billions of dollars – an unprecedented amount – into community organizations. That's because the stakes are high. Congressional Democrats have failed to ram through the two voting bills that would change election rules to favor their party: H.R. 1 and H.R. 4. Build Back Better is the party's best shot at gaining an electoral advantage.

The bill not only bankrolls nonprofit community organizations but also adds to their clout by allowing them to hand out billions of dollars in seed money for local business startups.

In a new twist, the Small Business Administration is distributing huge sums to nonprofits that will serve as "incubators," disbursing funding to startup businesses in "underserved" areas. Curiously, the SBA has regional offices across the U.S. to help startups and could distribute the funds itself. But instead, it is empowering nonprofits by making them the middlemen.

All in all, nonprofits are eligible for as much as $90 billion to support their own activities or disseminate to pals under this bill. That's equivalent of the entire 2020 budget of the state of Florida.

Historically, political machines that doled out benefits in exchange for votes were local, as in nineteenth century Boston, New York and Kansas City. "All there is to it," explained Kansas City political boss James Pendergast, is "doing things for people, then later on they'll do things for you."

The $3.5 Trillion Build Back Better Bill will give out federal dollars to reward interest groups, business entities and the poor parts of cities so the socialist Democrats create voting blocks to make Democrat rule permanent.

These are the people who enabled this.
They knew it was a Trojan horse and voted for it anyway.

Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)

They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.

In an attempt to eliminate fossil fuels, this legislation would impose a “fee” on all methane emissions, including in our agriculture industry. We all know that a fee is just a tax and that consumers are the ones who will pay for it. The tax is estimated to cost $6,500 per dairy cow, $2,600 per head of cattle, and $500 per swine each year. That is more than what the animals are worth, it’ll run ranchers out of business.

Democrats are touting that this bill has $200 billion of federal spending for “free” universal preschool and community college. What the Democrats aren’t promoting is that states will be required to foot 50 percent of the cost once this measure is up and running. This is the same for free community college provisions. States will be required to foot 25 percent of the two years free of community college costs as well. Nothing is ever free. The state of Oklahoma will pay for this bill too, not just Washington.

The Biden Administration argues new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provisions in the bill will narrow the tax-gap, but it’s just a gross example of federal overreach. The IRS would require banks to report transaction data for any account with at least $600 of cash in or out annually, violating the privacy of what Americans do with their money.

Seeing that pigs don't put out that much methane(column 2), this is just a transfer of wealth from ranchers, most of whom are probably conservative, to tech types that will grow your meat in a lab. Just imagine how many farmers will end up losing their land. I'm sure people like Bill Gates will be there to buy it up.

Pigs produce less methane than goats so why no fee on goats?

The recent news of rogue Generals and a POTUS who lies to his country and a V.P. who praises an anti-Jewish student...It is obvious Biden and party don't understand what a (Trillion $$) is or how it is paid out/back. Janet Yellen, Secretary of The Treasury, proposes a tax on private property to pay for part of the Trillion-boondoggle (Socialism on steroids) which will cripple future heirs to such, making America the poorest of nations.

I think this bill is badly misnamed. Should be called “The Screw It Up Royally” bill. After all, wasn’t it Democrat inspired?
