The runaway spending sprees -- to the tune of seemingly endless $Trillions -- aren’t going to stop until you and I force the government to back down.
The political class has used the financial crisis they created with draconian lockdowns as their excuse for Washington, D.C.’s addiction to multi-trillion dollar “bailouts,” “stimulus packages,” and now a proposed “infrastructure bill.”
They can refer to them however they want, but you and I know these spending sprees are simply the methods by which the elites continue to steal this country’s wealth through giveaways to their cronies and massive inflation of our currency.
But I’m afraid it gets worse than that.
The so-called “infrastructure bill” being pushed by the Biden administration is more about re-branding some of their most unpopular ideas like The Green New Deal and The Great Reset.
According to Biden’s WhiteHouse.gov website, this infrastructure bill is just part two of their three-part plan to “Build Back Better.”
That’s the often-repeated catch phrase that Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum says is the magic cure-all to the financial calamity which was hastened by central controllers like himself during the coronavirus outbreak.
While on the surface it will be pitched as $2.3 Trillion in spending on things such as highways, roads, bridges, new federal buildings, and other attractive-sounding projects, most of it will be spent on a more insidious kind of engineering. . .
. . . social engineering!
Splashed all over this plan are words like “equity” and “disadvantaged communities,” which are used as an emotional appeal to justify spending billions of dollars to tip the scales toward whomever is the latest victim class in America.
They will do this without any thought put into whether the investment is sound or just throwing money at a problem and creating new bloated bureaucracies to manage it.
With the (current) big price tag of $2.3 Trillion sure to raise many eyebrows, after $5 Trillion was spent on coronavirus bailouts, this time President Biden and Congress know they have to make it look like it’s being paid for.
That’s why this bill includes a HUGE hike in corporate taxes by a whopping 33%, going from the current 21% all the way back up to 28%.
This will certainly have devastating economic impacts and cause businesses to have to cut way back on their operations, including layoffs.
While spending was never brought under control during the Trump administration, the tax cut bill he signed in 2017 was a big part of fostering an economic turnaround and historically low levels of unemployment.
Now the Biden administration wants to severely raise the cost of doing business with this massive tax hike!
Patriot, we are headed in the wrong direction and quickly.
That’s why I’m urging you to tell your U.S. Senators and Representative to oppose this bill immediately -- sign the petition at once!
Once you do, please consider a donation of $150, $75, $35, or as much as you can afford so we can keep the pressure on Congress to stop this runaway spending spree of YOUR money.
Another theme repeated throughout this plan is unionism. The words “collectively bargain” can be found throughout their plan.
In an article from earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal says much of the $400 Billion in the “infrastructure bill” allotted to Medicaid expansion for Home Health Care will end up in the hands of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU):
When is a $2.3 trillion
infrastructure bill not really about infrastructure? How about when $400 billion would go to expand Medicaid payments for home healthcare, with much
of that padding the rolls of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)? That not-so-little detail is one of the line items the media
don’t want to cover in President Biden’s latest spending blowout…
…since Medicaid pays for home care, Democratic states have deemed them public employees and designated the SEIU as their exclusive representative for collective bargaining. The union then bargains with the same politicians the union supports in elections to deduct member dues automatically from home-worker Medicaid payments.

The article goes on to say that Biden wants states to require home health care workers to be unionized and represented by the SEIU, which amounts to forced unionism in the medical field.
What does any of this have to do with infrastructure?
Patriot, this is cronyism at its absolute worst! The Biden administration, in their own words, is using this massive spending package to prop up parasitic labor unions who force their members to pay dues which then go to fund political campaigns.

As if all the giveaways to unions in this so-called “infrastructure deal” wasn’t bad enough, many elements of “The Green New Deal” boondoggle are also rearing their ugly head in this bill, including:
>>Forcing states and
utilities to phase out fossil fuels even after we witnessed massive and extended power outages in Texas this year because of over-reliance on wind and
solar power.
>>”Re-engineering” our nationwide power grid to banish fossil fuels by 2035, even though they currently make up 50% of our electricity generation.
>>Paying out $40 billion to a Dislocated Workers Program and $10 billion “Civilian Climate Corps” when the policy costs tens of thousands of jobs -- just like the shutdown of the Keystone XL Pipeline did.
>>$213 Billion to tear down, rebuild, or retrofit existing buildings and dwellings.
>>An additional $40 Billion in spending on public housing for things like energy efficient lightbulbs.

Patriot, when “The Green New Deal” was first introduced, it was instantly an embarrassing failure, but that’s not stopping the statists from ramming some of the most destructive parts of it through with this new infrastructure bill.
We can’t afford any of this and it will all but guarantee long term economic ruin for our country.
Sign the petition to your U.S. Senators and Representative to demand they stop this now!
Once you do, please consider a donation of $150, $75, $35, or as much as you can afford so we can keep the pressure on Congress to stop this runaway spending spree of YOUR money.
The Biden administration knows “The Great Reset” and the “Green New Deal” are non-starters so they’re repackaging them and attempting to buy off their opposition with $Billions in giveaways.
I urge you to contact Congress today and tell them you see through this attempt to mortgage your future and your freedoms in the process, so they must oppose it immediately.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. The political class has already spent $5 Trillion of our money after mandating that the economy shut down. Now they’ll stop at nothing to keep their endless scam going by calling it “infrastructure.”
Sign the petition to stop this fraudulent plan immediately.
Then please consider a generous donation of $150, $75, $35, or as much as you can afford at once.
