As a thought experiment, is it possible for progressives to consider the notion of peak money? That point at which we can no longer tap the labor of future generations to pay for their stupid ideas today.
The obvious answer is no. There is no “enough.” Democrats cannot imagine a sum of money so large that not even they could spend it. Waste, fraud, and abuse are a feature, not a bug—the monetary equivalent of digging holes to fill them in.
Example.
“Veterinary Public Health has received funding from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 in animals in Los Angeles County,” a statement on LA Public Health read.
Remember, the survival rate among humans is nearly 100%, but in the interest of public health™, we need to test animals just in case.
No positive results have been found in any of the 177 animals that have been tested so far, which include a wide variety of common household pets such as dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and guinea pigs.
LA public health also tested wild animals including 107 bats, 12 raccoons, 7 squirrels, 1 mule deer, 12 coyotes, 3 skunks, 6 opossums, 1 rat, and 6 sea lions.
It’s the (animal) COVID Twelve Days of Christmas…”Six sea lions!”
Do they get a passport showing they are covid-free? Not that we know of, but after posting about the effort on Twitter, the peeps ragged on them so severely that the LA County Department of Health had to shut off comments.
I guess there are a few folks left in the world who think this is ridiculous. And it makes you wonder. Are the public health experts for LA County genuinely concerned about animal reservoirs for a flu that almost 100% of people survive, or are they just addicted to the attention and the fresh bushels of cash from the money tree?
We have to spend it or someone else will.
And will they realize that at the rate we are going, they’ll probably need to cut the tree down and burn it to stay warm, but of course, there is no tree.
