The Senate has passed the Dems 1.9 trillion dollar rescue stimulus. It could have been much more targeted and much smaller.
First, there is still 1 trillion dollars unspent from the prior stimulus bills. There is no "emergency" at the moment.
Second, the items that needed to pass such as extending unemployment benefits and supplements, money for vaccine distribution and testing, and the like total no more than half a trillion bucks. The other one and a half trillion dollars is just items thrown in by the Dems to pay off their base. Roughly 300 billion is going to state and local governments that don[t need the cash. It will pay to make sure that no state employee unions have to be reasonable in their salary demands. It will guarantee that rational spending will return to states like CA, NY or IL.
Third, all sorts of Dem wish list items are being rushed through without debate or even thought. Americans will have to pay for these items for many years just so the Dems can reward their followers. It will hurt, not help, the USA.
There's no surprise that the Dems and Biden have followed this course. It's the same thing they did in 2009 under Obama. Still, that course of action of helping their followers rather than the whole country led to the Dems' losing the House, the 'Senate, the state legislatures, the governors and the White House. You would think the Dems would have learned, but they haven't.
