Below are two articles from Armstrong Economics. I did this as a way to put all the information in one spot and I’ll be updating this several times before it’s completed.—MK3
Health care spending has been at the forefront of the Democrats’ tantrum that led to the government shutdown. Where else do they plan to send tax dollars? The continuing resolution to keep the government open for another six months has a few stipulations that should raise questions.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is to receive nearly half a billion dollars. The initial budget proposal presented by the Democrats included over $1.1 BILLION in taxpayer aid to broadcasting platforms like PBS and NPR.
Congress is on a perpetual vacation funded by the people. The people are demanding that these public servants work, and the Democrats believe that they deserve a $157 million raise for underperforming. All members of Congress are to be appointed personal security and residential security system. They are also requesting $10 million in security to the state office. Yet, the average American is forced to live in or near crime-ridden cities that these people insist are safe. Crime is a byproduct of MAGA rage, apparently, and only the politicians deserve to feel safe in America.
Dead Congressmen deserve a death gratuity, since they’re working equally as hard as their living peers. The temporary resolution includes a $174,000 payout to the families of Raul Grijalva (AZ), Gerald Connolly (VA), and Sylvester Turner (TX).
Here’s a kicker—the neocons are inserting their agenda within this bill and demanding that the US government allot $437 million to the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. Countless aid has been sent to Ukraine, but the US government cannot operate unless we send another half-billion-dollar package.
Why should Americans be forced to spend on these extremely biased stipulations that do not benefit the people in any way?
Democrats Demand $5 Billion in Foreign Spending to Reopen Government
The provisions placed by the Democrats are utterly absurd. The headlines discuss the issue of health care without mentioning the endless demands they’ve made that in no way benefit America or the American people. Half of our elected representatives are refusing to reopen the government unless the GOP agrees to send $5 billion in taxpayer funds to foreign nations.
What will these foreign nations do with our $5 billion in aid so crucial that the US government cannot effectively operate without it? Naturally, the majority of the package ($1.8 billion) will be funneled through USAID into NGOs that line politicians’ pockets. The organization will also require an additional $200 for administration costs.
Global Health and PEPFAR-linked Programs requires $900 million to fund globalist disease-based control through shady NGOs, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF. Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (International Disaster Assistance) to the tune of $850 million must be sent to places like Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan. Peacekeeping and Security Support will require $700 million and will be spent on FAILED missions in Haiti, Lebanon, and Mali, among others.
Forget America’s economy—the Democrats wants to provide $600 million to the Economic Support Fund (ESF) & Democracy Initiatives. The money will go toward anti-corruption measure, ironically, and governance and freedom programs throughout Eastern Europe and Latin America. Since the debt ceiling is of no concern, the Democrats want to spend another $440 to global organizations like FAO, UNDP, and the International Development Association.
The situation becomes stranger when you look at the details. Honduras apparently needs $25 million in aid immediately for “climate resiliency.” The Balkans require $5 million LGBTQ democracy grants. There is a plan to send $2 million to support Democratic feminist principles in Africa. Again, half of America’s elected officials believe the government simply cannot operate without this funding.
The Democrats cannot fathom why Republicans are not willing to spend an additional $1.5 TRILLION. That’s adding 25% of all federal spending on top of the current budget. Yet, these politicians grab their microphones and cry that the GOP wants to prevent “middle-class folk” from achieving the American dream. These people have destroyed the middle class and are intent on destroying the US economy because their actions only benefit their wallets rather than the people.
