Just like Portland controls Oregon, liberal Seattle controls Washington.

Please, please, please come lock up some Democratic state officials over this. Gov Inslee would look oh so stylish in orange prison scrubs.

I can dream, at least.

It isn’t legal. America isn’t a free country.

Anarcho-tyranny rules.

Our government doesn’t work for us any more.

Who benefits from illegal immigration? Globalists. Not the American people.

I wonder where the recipients of these funds funneled the money after receiving it?—easy target for organized crime, e.g. drug cartels.

I am so sick of this....we pay huge taxes on property and income tax and if I take money out of my retirement account, I pay taxes on that which makes us seem like we have a bunch of money which we don’t.....

Our elderly neighbor got a check for $150(?), signed by Attorney General Bob Ferguson (running for Gov) to offset the “illegal” prices on tuna fish sold in the state.

“I don’t even EAT tuna fish!”

“Yeah - but you vote Democrat.”

(We of course did not get a check from Side-Show Bob.)

Wow - so I bet there are 350,000 illegals in Washington State. Some “official” reports say about 11 million illegals in the USA in 2021. But I’m sure that is under-reported and could easily be your 17 million or more.

American Rescue Plan Act and was intended to help state and local governments with their response and recovery from the COVID-19.

I bet every state and local government was completely abuzz with the news of this grab bag of grift and pandering. I bet that’s how Fani Willis figured out to nab that scuzball boyfriend Wade. A big open-secret everybody knew about but real Americans who got none of it.

The 17 million was in 2020.

There has been 5 million + per year since then.

I wasn’t inferring that Congress would be the one doing any change.

But they control the purse strings and as long as they continue to pass out taxpayer dollars like they did for Covid-19 and not account for how it is spent the misuse of taxpayer dollars will continue.
