COVID RELIEF ?

Not Really

by Bob Walsh

The Covid relief bill is close to one TRILLION dollars.  It is not, of course, actually a Covid relief bill.

It has a LOT of "foreign aid" in it.  We are sending money ( $10 million) to Pakistan for gender identity studies in the bill.  We are sending a ton of money to the Ukraine, I guess so they can continue to pay Hunter Biden for his assistance.  We are sending $500 million to various Central American counties to study why undocumented unaccompanied minors are attempting to migrate to the United States.  It is also being used to attack "climate change."  That may, or may not, be a laudable goal.  It is hard to figure out how it relates to Covid relief.

That happens when you pass a 5,000 page bill in one day.  You KNOW nobody actually read it, because nobody had the time to.  I am sure some of it it actually being used for semi-legit Covid relief.  Mostly by accident I expect.  

Your tax dollars at work.  I am sure you are happy to send $10 million to Pakistan to study gender identity.  Personally I could tell the U S government why unaccompanied undocumented minors are coming to American, and I would be happy to do it for only $50 million.  

The public probably does not get the government they deserve, but they sure as hell get the government they tolerate.
