Shaheen: $1.7 Trillion Omnibus Won’t Be Inflationary Because It Funds Programs that Already Exist
Breitbart ^ | 12/22/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 12/22/2022 1:45:12 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Thursday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) stated that she doesn’t think that the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill will make inflation worse because it funds programs that already exist.

Co-host Jim Sciutto asked, “[Y]ou guys are going to vote and get this 1.7 trillion spending bill passed. It’s got a lot in there. But I wonder, the topline figure is quite big. And it’s not far off — the most recent COVID relief bill, which was 1.9 trillion, which some have blamed for being inflationary, and I wonder, as folks are watching right now, should they be concerned at all that pumping all this money into the economy right now might prolong inflation?”

These morons can say anything they want and the media just covers for them.

Might as well say this bill will give each American a million dollars.

The media response would be the same.

Yeah, like my wife says, we can’t be out of money because there are still some checks left in the checkbook...

Not IQ, a willingness to look straight into the camera and lie.

Buying all these Ferraris won’t put me onto debt, because it’s just paying for things there are already purchase orders for.

Lot of ignorant people in the country. They will believe anything these people say. There is a reason that education has been dumbed down to pronouns, sex education and CRT.

Well, she doesn’t have a high enough IQ to even put together a semi-plausible lie, that’s for sure.

Here’s a rejoinder. If a program exists and spending more on it isn’t inflationary, then how does one account for today’s social security versus the first check sent out?

Certification List for sending the first Social Security check, for check number 00-000-001, was issued to Ida May Fuller in the amount of $22.54 and dated January 31, 1940.

The government experts concluded at the start: We have no reason to believe more than a few Americans will live past the age of 65, so the system will always be well funded based on our figures.

In 2022, 21 percent of the federal budget, or $1.2 trillion, will be paid for Social Security, which will provide monthly retirement benefits averaging $1,538 to 49 million retired workers.

Old joke:
I’m not saying he’s old but his Social Security number is 12.

“There ain’t no IQ test to become a US Senator.” Truer words were never said.
And exactly why do we even agree to obey any legislation voted up by such morons? Sooner or later, we had better tell them to shove it up their collective, very stupid Obamaholes.

Remember, NO government spending is EVER inflationary, because the government already exists, therefore the countless dollars it spills into the economy have no effect on inflation. None whatsoever!
