Even the liberals I follow on Twitter are disgusted with Schumer and Pelosi’s attempts to get things like this added into the stimulus package. What a tone deaf and appalling display. I’m starting to believe that the goal of the Democratic Party is to make themselves look as villainous as they possibly can.
Meanwhile, in Canada, a similar bill is coming up for a vote, but the bill proposed by the Trudeau government essentially gives them absolute authority to tax and spend as they see fit, with no oversight or parliament vote needed. It makes the present government our legal dictators. It will not pass, this time, but if people get desperate, who knows what sort of laws will get through?
Like I said, the crisis isn’t planned, but the response is always ready to go when the opportunity comes. How do you think the Democrats came up with a 1200-page bill literally overnight? How did the Canadian Liberal party have the powers of a dictatorship all written up, just needing a vote to make them the law of the land? It’s only a matter of time.
I don’t mean that the slush funds that the Democrats are attempting to tack onto the stimulus bill in the US are the same as the attempted dictatorship that my government is trying to sneak by as an “emergency” measure, but the lesson is, during times of crisis, a lot of scary things get passed by people whose very job it is to protect us from scary things.
