Of course, Hogan likes pork.
They’re Deep State.
Most of them want this. Politicians from both sides love spending tax dollars.
It cannot be stressed enough that the Republican Party just absolutely torpedoed any chances of retaking Congress and getting a majority in the Senate over this breathtakingly bone-headed vote.
Furthermore, and more importantly, this bill simply greased the skids for the kill-shot BBB bill. Even Democrats and their media minions have said this and Republicans still voted for the infrastructure bill.
Shovel ready Sheite!
They’re the walruses eating the clams while crying in Alice in Wonderland.
Hogan is so full of bull excrement. I can’t stand that guy...wish he’d just put a “D” behind his name.
“This bipartisan bill will put America’s infrastructure on the right track to grow jobs and make our economy competitive for the twenty-first century without raising taxes or adding to the debt…”
Pure, unadulterated BS.
Tons of dollars going into their coffers that they can hand out to their friends. They don’t care where the money is coming from.
Democrat = totalitarian, Marxist, satanist
Republican = Democrat assistant’s
Any questions?
A big chunk of the “infrastructure” package is going to Amtrak, particularly the Boston to Washington line, which runs through Maryland. Hard to resist the money and kickbacks.
By some estimates, less than 10% of this monstrosity goes to actual roads, bridges, etc. The rest a gift to big business and liberals that love batteries.
What government people and most people don’t talk about, is that, the best infrastructure that could save the world, is an economy that is firing on all cylinders.
A great economy takes care of all the other infrastructures; without an economic engine that is robust, no other infrastructure will be able to survive, no matter how much a government tries to take away from the people.
What a maroon.
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate infrastructure imo. This is evidenced by the writings of President Thomas Jefferson and Supreme Court justices, Jefferson actually encouraging the states to amend the Constitution for such a purpose imo.
In other words, governors accepting so-called "federal" infrastructure funding can argue that they are recovering state revenues stolen by the feds by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the very corrupt, alleged election stealing, Democratic Party-pirated Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"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.
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (The states have never amended the Constitution for new powers for Congress to do these things.)
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation [emphasis added], though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. [emphasis added], are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
"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.
The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government stealing from the states and their taxpayers...
Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.
Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.
Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
Insights welcome.
“..without raising taxes or adding to the debt..”
Hogan is a complete moron. He is worse than a Rhino
Trump could have done infrastructure, and it would have been better than this.
Of course, Hogan likes pork.
Porkity-pork pork pork pork pork.
