When the political class bargains with itself, the only guarantee is that everyone but the well-connected loses big in the end. The nearly $2.3 Trillion Biden “Infrastructure” Scam is being countered by a Republican proposal that would still cost Americans at least $650 Billion! The political class thinks you’ll see this as a more reasonable proposal as they come to an agreement on a middle ground that will most likely have a price tag north of $1 Trillion. And that comes on the heels of the $5 Trillion in ADDITIONAL spending they’ve done over the past 13 months to bail themselves out of the mandatory coronavirus depression . . . that they caused! This is what passes for reasonable spending in Washington, D.C. these days! You and I know how unsustainable this is, but neither side of the aisle is getting the message. A quick check of the price of commodities will show you the rampant inflation we’re already seeing on everything from food, to fuel at the pump, to lumber, to precious metals and even cryptocurrency. While this news may be welcomed by some investors, the majority of Americans are having their wealth stolen through this inflation, and the out-of-control spending by Congress is very much to blame. The reality is the cost of living is rising much more quickly now than incomes are and it’s pushing us quickly toward an even worse economic collapse than 2008. It’s time to DEMAND Congress end this spending spree IMMEDIATELY. Sign the petition at once! They think they still have us on the ropes and we’ll accept another spending package in the $Trillions as our ticket out of the financial catastrophe of the past year. 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.” Whether through taxes or inflation and the loss of purchasing power, you and I will pay for this recklessness one way or another. With the current price tag of the Biden proposal being $2.3 Trillion, the big spending statists in 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%. 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. Splashed throughout the Biden Infrastructure scam is forced unionism. The words “collectively bargain” can be found throughout their plan. In fact, the Biden proposal seeks to unionize the medical field through home health care and force people who currently work in that field to start paying dues to the SEIU, a 100-year-old labor union favored by big city fat cats. 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 labor unions who force their members to pay dues which then go to fund political campaigns. Sign the petition to stop this madness! 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. 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! You and I must oppose any of these infrastructure deals, whether it’s the Biden Plan, the counterproposal or anything in between. Any plan they come up with will be loaded with unprecedented amounts of pork-barrel spending. 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.
