In part 1, I described America as having a moral sickness. This disease is highly evident in the $2 trillion “recovery” package Congress just passed on Friday. Forget the fact that only $300 billion of the unfathomable price tag is for the “economic rescue plan” which will throw Monopoly money at lower-income American households. United we stand!
The remainder of this newest round of fantastical currency goes to a slew of progressive pet projects. To add insult to injury, the bureaucratic elites named this sham the Families First Coronavirus Response. Talk about sick.
But how to pay for it? Let us not forget that the federal government doesn’t actually produce anything, other than stupid laws, inflated egos, millionaire politicians, broken families, perpetual war, and lots of heart ache. “Congress doesn’t have $2 trillion to spend, and 2020 tax receipts won’t begin to cover the bill,” wrote Jeff Deist.
“This means the federal government will effectively ‘print’ the money, likely in a circuitous way by issuing new Treasury debt and using the Federal Reserve Bank as a backstop to buy it all if investors won’t,” he continued. Translation: tax payers will fork over increasingly scarce money for this scheme, but make no mistake, that includes neither the rich ones or the “poor” ones. Tax families to save families. What could go wrong?
The “emergency” measure also includes “$500 billion in business ‘loans’ from the U.S. Treasury, which means backed by you and me,” Deist explained. “$70 billion is earmarked for airlines and their suppliers, including Boeing, Delta, United and General Electric.” Translation: corporate bailouts … yet again.
In predictable shameless form, Trump’s deputies announced the same day as the plan’s passage that “they had begun the process of importing 85,000 H-1B gig workers to take white-collar jobs,” reported Breitbart. Now, the feds want to put foreign “families first,” and they want me to pay for them. With a “recovery” like this, who the hell needs the coronavirus?
“If the H-1B program is just for filling jobs that Americans cannot fill amid for labor shortages, then this would not be happening,” said John Miano, a lawyer with the Immigration Law Reform Institute. “But it is not a labor-shortage program – it is a cheap labor program to displace Americans.” And the elites will so much as admit it; after all, that’s what multiculturalism is. Diversity is our strength, remember?
My husband works in IT and his company is planning to “trim the fat” in the coming weeks. For those of you who work in corporate America, you know damn well that native-born workers are seen as dispensable, while hiring cheap, typically lower-skilled H-1B hires is considered good business practice. Government deciding who is “essential” and who isn’t has been part of the modern America ethos for a long time, so no one should be shocked by its current pandemic emergency practices.
In the medical field, the social-engineering is as stark as IT. “In New York City, 45% of doctors and 58% of registered nurses were foreign-born in 2016. Among home health care aids … the share was 76%.” Citizens of the world make for pliable plebs.
After all, foreign hires overwhelmingly support the American sickness (i.e., they hate guns, love centralization, abhor regional culture, adore the system, loathe Jesus, worship money, utilize democracy, but practice tribalism), so it’s a win-win for the woke crony-capitalist structure. Import big-government voters, and replace America’s fading traditions and once-resilient spirit both through the culture, miseducation, and media, and at the ballot box.
Economically, America is Hamiltonian. “It’s Hamilton’s fusion of economy and society that Jefferson warned us against,” Dr. Brion McClanahan says. It enriches people at the top, fosters dependence and apathy, and placates the government-created class at the bottom. It destroys customs and demolishes family. It funds never-ending “humanitarian” wars and props up merciless globalist institutions. It creates untenable and deadly supply chains. And it’s setting up everyday people for the fall.
Now don’t forget, the new “stimulus” package comes on the heels of $4 trillion already issued by the Federal Reserve to be “leveraged” with Treasury money. Translation: middle-class tax-payers will foot another bill for those deemed “disproportionately affected” by the coronavirus chaos (“poor” folks), as well as those who supposedly spur the economic engine (government bureaucrats, corporate bigwigs, and Wall Street wolves). Anyone making a wage or salary is going to lose.
Let us not also forget about the “great CEO exodus” that happened in the months leading up to the pandemic, and the oligarch profiteering, like one of my sad-sack senators, Richard Burr, who sold millions of dollars in stock shares after a closed-door briefing, while he continued to assure the public that all was well. Take note, normies. Republicans don’t care about you either.
But it’s all going to come to a head sooner rather than later. “A market crash was coming even before coronavirus.” Quantitative easing? Been there, done that in 2008. Recession? Definite. Depression? Probably. Complete undoing of the empire? I pray to God.
Congressman Thomas Massie tried his best to stop the slush-fund veiled as patriotic legislation, but he couldn’t restrain the beast. Larry Kudlow, policy advisor to Trump, claims the fractional-reserve trickery is for “Main Street,” but all it means is more theft, more record levels of debt in financial markets, government, and the real economy, more inflation, more social division, and more suffering.
But don’t dare to question the government’s salvific powers, lest you be labeled a heretic and a hater. “The coronavirus epidemic endangers every aspect of American life, and Democrats believe that this historic emergency requires a full-spectrum response to protect our economy and our democracy,” remarked Nancy Pelosi spokesperson Henry Connelly.
Yep, the same elitists who preen about “protecting” people are the very ones who created and benefit from the system, so there is no “our” anything. America as a “nation” is a joke, and this pandemic chaos is messaging that indelible fact to more and more people.
There are many conservatives and libertarians claiming that the coronavirus is a hoax – subterfuge to force more government on citizens, infringe on liberties, centralize even more control, and politicize during an election year. I don’t buy it. Sure, the central planners are self-seekers, but why would they not stick with the program of happy sheep distracted by consumerism, comfort, and entertainment?
Most people were perfectly content with how things were before this crisis. So, why would the oligarchs threaten that carefully crafted system? Why would they risk their already-established fiefdoms? And why would they awaken people who were apathetic to true liberty, but now suddenly care about individual duty and government overreach?
I think the US could’ve probably gone on another 50 to 100 years with its false prosperity, fake economy, and fictional freedom. Why then expose big government for the frauds that they are? The Deep State was seemingly unstoppable and had effectively castrated Trump’s populism. The powers that be were already winning, so why go to so much trouble and expose themselves for the tyrants that they are?
And even though Americans typically have short memories, I think that the coronavirus handling will be an exception to that rule. I truly believe it’s the trigger that will bring on the empire’s demise, as well as shake the masses from their own malaise.
Centralized governments are simply too big to be effective, and American “culture” with its citizen accomplices have hastened the tidal wave of economic and social chaos that is beginning to swell and will ultimately crash. Its ripple effects will be felt by all.
If you wanna be a Nazi and ally with Richard Spencer, who said Trump should’ve had a more “centralized” response, go for it, progressives. (See, how I just insinuated that you and your view are evil simply because you share an opinion with someone deemed socially unacceptable? Payback’s a bitch.)
For those who still don’t believe that folks will arise from their statist slumber, I guarantee you that they will when the money runs out, when a loaf of bread costs $100, when the feds tax small backyard gardens and penalize people who “hoard,” and when the activist politicians disarm citizens as criminality spreads unabated. Oh, and we can’t forget when the EBT cards stop working. These things will happen, if they’re not already. It’s just a matter of time.
Pretty soon all will see that it’s not that “the remedy is worse than the disease.” It’s that centralized power is the disease; it’s a moral ailment that addicts all of society to its sickness. But despite all the bluster and self-righteousness, Americanism is showing its weakness and vulnerability, and our dear leaders’ overwhelming hubris and greed will only expedite its demise. That’s what ya call justice.
In the meantime, plan, prepare, and pray. The cure may be hard to swallow, but the bad medicine is coming whether we like it or not.
