Spending trillions costs nothing

According to this administration, spending $3.5 trillion doesn’t cost the American people a single dollar, because it is paid for.

That is pure spin. What they are really trying to say is that the money being spent won’t increase the deficit, because the cost will be offset by increased taxation. To say that increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy means that this trillions in spending won’t cost anything is disingenuous at best. Aren’t rich Americans still Americans?

This is what governments do: They tax and spend.

Rumors

Here in the north side of Central Florida, we are experiencing shortage in frozen vegetables, along with beverages of sports drinks like Gatorade, along with canned soups being picked over. The last time I was at the store, a woman there told me that she and her husband had arrived from Pennsylvania several days before, and that area was having shortages in toilet paper and frozen vegetables. Meats were in good supply but expensive.

J KB is reporting shortages of various supplies in the Carolinas.

Things like shampoo, body wash, mouth wash, cleaning supplies, foot spray, OTC drugs, were low, especially the store brand generics.

Any other shortages in other areas of the country?

Today I went to Walmart at lunch and it took was low on a lot of non-food supplies.

Welcome to the Kubuki Theater

Every couple of years, the Democrats and the Republicans engage in this stupid play. The plot is always the same: The country has borrowed to its supposed “debt ceiling,” and the Democrats want to raise it. The Republicans “refuse” to do so unless they get some concessions. The government gets “shut down” while they argue about it, until the Democrats eventually make some sort of deal, then the Republicans declare victory, raise the debt ceiling, and everyone pats themselves on the back.

Except the debt ceiling, concessions, the shut down, refusal, all of it, is fake. None of it actually exists, nor did anything actually change. It’s all theater.

No Way

Police in Florida are going door to door looking for a cop killer. That includes ATF agents searching people’s homes. I understand that they want to catch a dangerous man, but it will be a cold day in hell before I voluntarily allow one of those murderous cocksuckers from the ATF into my house.

The same goes for any cops. There is no criminal fugitive in here, I am not being held hostage. Now piss off.

Control is the End Game

Like Australia, in Italy you must accept the vaccine passport that includes an app on your cell phone that tracks your location. If you fail to get this app, your employer can’t fire you. Of course, they can’t pay you, either.

If you refuse this tracking device and the vaccine that goes with it, you can’t participate in society. No dining out, no entering any government building or business, no paycheck. You will be an unperson.

That is the endgame: Your entire life will be controlled by the government.
