Senate RINOS Trick Democrats Into Spending More Money, 3664

Good morning, I’m still reporting on the coup.Show more

The entire philosophy of the Infrastructure bill is backwards and what the Republican RINOs in the Senate have done has nearly doubled the cost.

The early negotiations with the RINO Senators was about how much spending they would support and what specific projects would have to be included to gain their support.

The Democrats act like they have this huge pile of money and the mean old Republicans won’t let them shovel some of it over to the states and cities for much needed infrastructure construction and repair’
But that is not quite an accurate portrayal of the financial status of the federal government in 2021.

The federal government doesn’t have any money and is $28 trillion in debt without adding another $1 trillion and then an additional $3.5 trillion in spending.

The difference is that the federal government can simply write itself another loan with no plan on how to ever pay it back.

But guess what, the bond dealers love it. Because selling the bonds of the U.S. government - which is how the government borrows its money – is one of the most lucrative business in this world. And the bond buyers of this government debt don’t care. Why? Because they get rich off the interest paid by those bonds – to the tune of over $500 billion per year.

So spend all you want. Yes, the more you spend, the faster inflation rises, plus taxes raises for the little people to pay for all those interest payments.

One of the many problems with the infrastructure bill is that everything is backwards. Instead of starting at $2.3 trillion and then working that down to a figure that could attract some pseudo Republican votes, the place where most people and governments start is to determine how much you can afford to spend and then prioritize the list and cover as many of the most critical infrastructure needs as possible with the money available.

But again, there is no money available! In this insane debt money system in which we live. All of our money is debt.

One part of the new plan calls for the federal government to pay for electric vehicle charging stations all over the country. The reason they don’t currently exist is that they aren’t needed. There are not enough electric vehicles out there looking for a place to charge up to make them profitable for folks to invest into them as a business.

When electric vehicle sales get to the point that charging stations are needed - fear not - private enterprise will swoop in to provide them just as private industry provides gas stations today.

So, the only reason the new infrastructure bill is mandating them is to give every politician who is in a position to vote for them a small piece of the action which they can dish out to their friends to ensure their re-election. And the now-compliant media won’t stand up and scream about this. Why? Could it possibly be that they are in on the deal as well?

It appears that what the RINOs in the Senate - a group that now includes Sen. Mitch McConnell - have done is taken a $2.3 trillion spending plan and turned it into two bills that currently total $4.5 trillion.

The original Biden infrastructure plan was for $2.3 trillion. Then in order to get the support of senators who have an R by their names, but otherwise don’t uphold long-held Republican principles, an additional $1.2 trillion was added in which was supposed to be real infrastructure projects, but aren’t really.

And now the Senate is set to pass an additional $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill with what has swollen to be the new $3.3 trillion infrastructure bill to follow on its heels passed with only Democrat votes.

There is no plus for the Republican Party for the Senate to pass a $1.2 trillion plan to spend money on pet projects - a few of which could be considered infrastructure. There is a huge plus for the Republican Party to defeat the runaway spending by the Democrats.

But the idea that the Republicans in the Senate are simply adding $1.2 trillion to what the Democrats were already going to spend is outrageous and shows that the Democratic leadership has outmaneuvered the Republicans in the Senate at every turn.

All the Republicans in the Senate have done is added their own $1.2 trillion, and in return skillfully tricked the Desperado gang into adding an additional $1 trillion to their original, outrageous wish list. The total comes to a nice round $4.5 trillion dollar giveaway to everyone’s friends and neighbors – the largest in American history.

Who benefits? Well, the money goes into the pockets of contractors, who then reward the folks in Congress for giving them that money with permanent re-election. As they say, wash-rinse-repeat.

If the goal was to trick the Democrats into spending more money, the RINOs in the Senate have been remarkably successful. But the country would be far better off if the RINOs would go back and support the original plan to spend $2.3 trillion the federal government doesn’t have instead of spending an additional $1.2 trillion to dish out to their own friends and neighbors who will then contribute to their re-election campaigns.

If you are confused now, that IS THE the most important part of these two new spending plans.

I’m still reporting from the soon-to-be-restored citadel of world freedom. Good day.
