The passage of the so-called infrastructure bill has been heralded as a victory for Democrats and the Biden administration. I think not. While spending gobs of money that does not exist is always a win on the left, this exposes them to other failures.
Remember the early days of 2009, with Obama and his Democrat majority congress. Post-housing-Bubble crash, every bill had jobs in it. They were all jobs bills. Not really. Every bill had a lot of spending in it, sure, but those were not real jobs which are the sort that creates wealth instead of feeding off it.
Trump created jobs by cutting taxes. Record numbers of jobs in every sector, but with Dems back in charge that has fallen off a cliff. The Left pays people to do nothing and defends the practice while working on the legendary infrastructure bill.
Were they saving those people up for all the new jobs they planned to “create” with this bill?
Nope. The government never creates jobs. It just redistributes resources away from the true job creators. And Democrats understand the concept. And to them, they are creating “jobs.” Your job is to be dependent on them and to then reinforce this dependency at the ballot box.
Why else enforce mandates that drive people out of their jobs while promoting your job-creating infrastructure boondoggle.
Jab or job. Millions more jobless, and how long until getting welfare requires The Jab™? It’s coming. Small business loans, mortgages, trust me, they’re looking for ways to line up the stragglers.
The job destruction didn’t stop there. Dems drove up the cost of energy and worked to shut down domestic production, creating more job loss.
Energy and food inflation eats away at everyone’s budgets, so there are more jobs people could have had lost due to meddling Feds and the hidden tax of inflation.
The infrastructure that worked great under trump has been decimated by Democrat interference, and roads and bridges or whatever we are pretending this will fix are useless without truckers, movers, and workers.
We get “shovel-ready” jobs, but no one can work and all the “shovels” are trapped on a container ship in the Pacific.
For the slow Democrat trolls reading this, these are euphemisms. I am not talking about actual shovels. This refers to the upside-down disingenuous crap show that is the Democrat party and Federal rule in general.
You created an infrastructure bill that requires the “infrastructure” you’ve spent the last ten months destroying.
What’s the actual goal here other than expanding the DC Laundromat and engaging in a fiscal circle jerk with your crony friends?
The only “infrastructure” you are interested in is that which sustains your grasp on power.
We knew that, but you sold this thing—the infrastructure bill. You went long, and now that you got your wish, you have a problem. A big shiny pile of crap but no “shovels” and no one to “shovel it.”
A few of the states will make it work. The rest will get lost like aid to third-world despotisms—a big show, some fanfare, and the oligarchy pocket the proceeds.
