Joe Biden's agenda is poised to destroy what’s left of small businesses in this country.
The $1.9 Trillion Biden Boondoggle is nearly as big as the $2.0 Trillion CARES Act, which means you and I must send a message LOUD and CLEAR so the political class gets the message from us.
To make matters worse, as part of this bill, they’re proposing a nationwide minimum wage hike of $15.00 per hour at a time when many business owners have been shut down or are operating under limited capacity due to authoritarian governors.
This minimum wage hike would more than double the current standard and could wipe out as many as 2 Million jobs.
Most of the country has a significantly lower minimum wage than $15.00, with many states at the current $7.25 level.
Imagine telling businesses, such as restaurants who are just struggling to make it through the draconian lockdowns that they must now double their wages for their workers.
Patriot, I’m afraid that so many would be immediately forced out of business.
Sign the petition to your U.S. Senators and Representative to stop the Biden Boondoggle now!
Then, please consider pitching in $25, $75, or even $100, so that Campaign for Liberty can get the word out across the country in time to stop this looming disaster!
The minimum wage may be the most immediately damaging, but it’s hidden behind a smokescreen of horrible and undeserved bailouts for Big Government and giveaways to Big Pharma:
>>$350 Billion in giveaways to state and local governments who mismanaged their states and forced businesses to close;
>>$170 Billion to K-12 schools who have also been closed for the majority of the previous year;
>>$50 Billion for more “testing, testing, testing,” with a test that isn’t even designed to detect COVID and has serious questions about accuracy coming from all angles;
>>$40 Billion to push the rushed vaccine, which is being rejected in large numbers by health care professionals;
>>Eviction moratoriums nationwide until at least September
This is just what we know about so far.
The Biden administration is making it clear they will do nothing but expand the government’s role in our life, while showing little regard for the long-term economic viability for our currency and our way of life.
While proponents of the bailouts, giveaways, and minimum wage increases will signal good intentions, any claim to virtue is wiped out by the economic carnage that is created with all of these actions.

In February of 2020, the U.S. had historic low levels of unemployment, with about 2 Million unemployed in a country of 330 Million people. As of August 2020, the lockdowns by governors had created 16 Million job losses, many of which have not (and may never) come back.
This country is incredibly resilient and can recover from the self-destruction that was caused by rampant fear, hysteria, and widespread misunderstanding of the coronavirus outbreak. . .
But we certainly won’t recover if we continue to bail out the worst actors, like Big Government and Big Pharma, while destroying mom-and-pop businesses by doubling their labor costs.
Both sides of the aisle know they’re playing with fire by continuing these runaway bailouts.
After all, the Democrats hold a very slim majority in the House and Senate, and they could be facing another 2010-style “TEA Party Revolution” two years from now.
And many Republicans are already on notice that their base has had enough of their shenanigans.
We must tell Congress to reject this latest massive $2 Trillion spending bill,
with a small business destroying $15 minimum wage, which will cost us all dearly in the long run! Sign the petition to your U.S. Senators and Representative to stop the Biden Boondoggle now!
Then, please consider pitching in $25, $75, or even $100, so that Campaign for Liberty can get the word out across the country in time to stop this looming disaster!
The only thing the “stimulus” bill will stimulate in the American public this time is more anger toward politicians, bureaucrats, and their corporate cronies.
The best stimulus is to fully open the economy and let businesses determine the best way to operate while individuals decide for themselves the risks they want to take.
The new administration will pose many challenges for us that will be familiar and some that are brand new battles.
Big Government and Big Tech may think they can silence us, but we are not going anywhere and we thank you for your continued support and your belief in our cause.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul, M.D.
Chairman
