The most egregious may well be the $1.9 trillion Covid Relief Bill where under 10% went to Covid Relief.

Congress appears to be building up slush funds.

Sometimes I think this push for chaos and the lack of law and order is to overwhelm the public with such an unsafe environment that it justifies them coming down hard.

Look at what they did after January 6th--it was certainly no armed insurrection (it was great support for the MAGA movement, yes, but no insurrection and definitely not armed). They are using a relatively minor even (when compared what went on over the summer) against Americans that did not support the Democrat party. It is obscene what is going on in Congress.

Democrats are spending money everywhere to buy votes. I keep saying they are building up a slush fund. Of the $1.9 trillion Covid-19 Relief Bill, less than 10% went to Covid-19. The latest $2.3 trillion Infrastructure Bill, 10 to 25% actually goes towards infrastructure (depending on who is doing the reporting) but most of the money is not related to infrastructure.

When emergency bills are passed, they should not be allowed to add on anything that is not related to the emergency. It becomes a way to blackmail the public. If the public wants relief, they must agree to give congress a blank check.
