Congress is considering H.R. 6666, the “Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone Act” (“TRACE Act”), a bill by U.S. Representative Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19.
The bill ostensibly would achieve that goal by creating “mobile health units” to “conduct diagnostic testing . . . trace and monitor the contacts of infected individuals” and then “support the quarantine of such contacts”—all at the cost of $100 billion.
Rush says that “increased testing and contact tracing is the only way we will get back normal and safely reopen our economy.” Essentially, Rush’s position—which is echoed by the bulk of America’s political establishment—is that America should remain locked down until everyone is tested. In other words, until everyone is cleared by the government.
The TRACE Act, like so much of the government’s response to COVID-19, will be a giant waste of money that will do nothing to keep Americans healthy or safe. Instead, it will erode what remains of our constitutional freedoms—freedoms that have been all but washed away during the pandemic’s hysteria.

Another sign of the times. . .as in the end times.
When was the last two me a Bobby Rush sponsored bill got passes?
Out of control government is out of control.

Obama is not one.
Funny how this wasn’t acceptable for AIDs.
He didn’t think this up on his own. Someones giving him instructions.
There is no law saying you have to answer your door. So do not answer your door.
This violates the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
This abomination better be DOA, both in the Senate and the President’s desk.
The red (i.e. American) states are open up and surprise, surprise, no resurgence, or zombie apocalypse. No need at all for this “contact tracing” “Papieren bitte sieg heil” crap.
stick a fork in US we are done
assume everyone is infected and everyone is armed.
BS.
“Only through an enacted police state will we let you live”
BS.
This is tyranny by definition.
The Contact Tracers do not have medical degrees.
Thus, they are engaging in medical malpractice.
We seem to be heading in the direction of the kind of society in which unsmiling authorities show up at your door and say, “Show me your papers - NOW!”
HIPA (sp?) Laws
this Rush guy (not the radio announcer!) should be rushed to an insane asylum, Post Haste!
Oh boy, another organ of internal security, a $100 billion
dollar one.
May I see your internal passport and innoculation chip?
Sorry, the state you want to visit is in lock down and
your chip is out of date. Please wait over there.
These things never go away on their own.
I don’t see this going anywhere.
Its time for Rush to retire.
This is all TSA II and its coming to your home and your life 24/7.
How about a throat punch? I can donate.
