No wonder Americans are pissed
As you may remember, in a post that I published on December 8th, 2018, (Today’s World Through My Eyes!) I mentioned some concerns about the mishandling of US government funds. This Stimulus Relief Bill contains pork that shouldn’t be a priority at this time, that bill should, foremost, contain relief for the American people, and help the American economy!
This is what this Covid bill contains:
*$85.5 million to Cambodia?
*$134 million to Burma?
*1.3 billion to Egypt & the Egyptian military. which will go out and buy Russian military equipment.
*$25 million for democracy & gender programs in Pakistan. the place that was hiding Osama Bin Laden!
*$505 million to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. Remember the exodus from some of those same countries trying to reach the US! What are they really doing with those US subsidizing funds? Certainly, nothing for its people!
*$40 million Kenedy Center in Washington, DC, which is closed for business at this time.
*$1 billion for the Smithsonian
*$154 million for the National Gallery of Art, also closed at this time.
This is certainly not the first time Congress has used crisis and clever wording to gain the approval of their opposite party, the people, and the president. It is far more difficult in Congress to gain the support needed for bills on individuals, so they attach other projects, often at great expense, to the hottest bill in the line-up. Nothing could be more red-hot than getting help for hurting Americans right now. The shorthand for the additional items on the bill is referred to as “pork,” the part of the bill that you aren’t supposed to see until after it passes.
Economic turbulence is expected to continue in 2021 as “life as normal” seems to have been postponed indefinitely. It seems tricky to come to support the creation of two new expensive museums, a Women’s History Museum and an American Latino Museum, or to support programs like, “A Statement Of Policy Regarding The Succession Or Reincarnation Of The Dalai Lama”!
