How is Congress going to divvy up this $1.7 trillion bounty

Published in Blog on January 04, 2023 by LeRoy E Cossette

By now you have all probably heard that our corrupt government’s Santa Claus gave the citizens of America a wonderful holiday gift.

Before heading home for the holidays, Congress passed a $1.7 trillion omnibus package. It was so important that we receive this gift before the holidays ended that the bill was flown by private jet to the Virgin Islands so Joe could get it signed.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year’s from your corrupt government to one and all.

Just like President Obama’s “Affordable Care Act,” this bankrupting package, mostly “pork,” was pushed through Congress at lightning speed. Given this omnibus package is more than 4,000 pages, you can rest assured that the vast majority of congressional members voted “yes” without having read the bill. 

Remember back in 2010 when “ex” Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said we have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it. Well, here we go again. That statement by Pelosi was mocked back then. Now, it’s just how Washington does business.

This omnibus bill passed the House with the help of nine anti-conservative  Republicans who joined the Leftists in helping get this bill passed. These include:  Katko (NY) Jacobs (NY) Cheney (WY) Fitzpatrick (PA) Upton (MI) Davis (IL) Herrera-Beutler (WA) Kinzinger (IL) Womack (AR).

A number of these individuals are already well known to be liberals in sheep’s clothing, and they voted for the bill not because they felt it was in the best interest of the country and its citizens, but rather out of revenge and hatred. 

The bill passed 68 to 29 in the Senate, and 225 to 201 in the House. The worst and most frustrating part is that more than half of the House members didn’t even show up to vote, they phoned it in via proxy voting. They all care so much for our country and their constituents that they couldn't even make the effort to show up in Washington to personally help bankrupt our country.

So, how has Congress decided to divide this bounty amongst themselves? Well let’s see, there are:

- $1.5 million for U.S. Customs and Border Protection which can’t be used for actual border security – but $410 million toward border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.

- $1.5 million for membership in global multilateral organizations, including the UN.

- $65 million for pacific salmon?

- $3 million for bee-friendly highways & another $5 million for the salmon.

- $65.7 million for international fisheries commissions.

- $575 million for "family planning" in areas where population growth "threatens biodiversity."

- $65 million in two programs for Senator Leahy and a federal building named for Nancy Pelosi.

- $4.1 million in various career programs for one of the richest counties in the US (Fairfax).

- $524.4 million for a DEI and "structural racism" focused NIH subdivision.

- $200 million for a gender program in Pakistan and the Gender Equity Fund.

- $15.2 million vax injury trust fund.

- $335 million to prepare for an influenza pandemic!

- $7.5 million to better understand the "domestic radicalization phenomenon."

- $535 million for Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which indirectly funds NPR via grants.

- $11.3 billion for the FBI.

- $2.63 billion for US Attorneys, with emphasis on J6 prosecutions & domestic terrorism cases.

- $375 for a new FBI Headquarters.

- $6 million for Clemson University.

- $982k for motel vouchers in LA.

- $1.2 million for LGBTQIA+ Pride Centers.

- $477,000 for the Equity Institute in Rhode Island.

- $3 million for the American LGBTQ+ Museum.

- $3.6 million for a Michelle Obama trail in Georgia named after her.

- $656 million of which went to departing Appropriations Committee Vice Chair Richard Shelby. 

- $20 million to the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Case Management Pilot Program, which is headed by an organization that advocated to “abolish ICE,” Church World Service.

- $1.2 million for “services for DACA recipients” (aka helping illegal aliens with our tat dollars).

- $477k for the Equity Institute in Rhode Island to indoctrinate teachers with an “anti-racism virtual lab.”

- $1 million for Zora’s House in Ohio, a “co-working and community space” for “women and gender-expansive people of color.”

- $3 million for the American LGBTQ+ Museum in New York City.

- $750k for the “LGBT and Gender Non-Conforming housing: in Albany, New York.

- $856k for the “LGBT Center” in New York.

- $2 million for the “Great Blacks in Wax” museum in Baltimore.

- $750k for the “trans-Latin Coalition” to provide “workforce development programs and supportive services for Transgender and Gender nonconforming and intersex immigrant women in Los Angeles."

–––––––––––––––––––––––

And on and on and on for 4,000 pages of unconstitutional spending that does not constitutionally fall under the purview of the federal government.

Well, look on the bright side, while the average American struggles economically, there were lot of politically socialist-communist-friendly countries, organizations, and blue states celebrating one heck of a good Christmas.

Just keep those tax dollars flowing in. Better for the government to spend that money, because we all know the government knows best how our hard-earned money should be spent.
 
Until we get our Resolution passed in 34 states and convene a Convention of States, this is the way it’s going to continue.
