Shaheen: $1.7 Trillion Omnibus Won’t Be Inflationary Because It Funds Programs that Already Exist
Breitbart ^ | 12/22/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 12/22/2022 1:45:12 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Thursday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) stated that she doesn’t think that the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill will make inflation worse because it funds programs that already exist.

Co-host Jim Sciutto asked, “[Y]ou guys are going to vote and get this 1.7 trillion spending bill passed. It’s got a lot in there. But I wonder, the topline figure is quite big. And it’s not far off — the most recent COVID relief bill, which was 1.9 trillion, which some have blamed for being inflationary, and I wonder, as folks are watching right now, should they be concerned at all that pumping all this money into the economy right now might prolong inflation?”

Indeed. Dumber than a bag of hammers, and I suspect most members of Congress are equally as dumb if not dumber. Just look at Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, AOC, and Maxine Waters. That’s just a few off the top of my head, but there is no limit to names that I could list.

What’s even worse is all of them are too damn stupid to recognize they are idiots which says as much about them as it does about the voters that continue to elect them.

They really are that stupid. I just don’t get the R’s. The dems are all about party above country, won’t vote for anything if the R’s are in control. Idiot republicans just go right along with every major Dem disaster.

Is there a reason to vote anymore?

Maybe in local elections, but that's about it. Beyond that it's out of our control.

Somebody has been doing to many “recreational” drugs to think that way. So, I don’t have to make payments on my truck because it already existed before I bought it? Those Swamp Varmints up in the District of Corruption are a bunch of sick puppies.

What an idiot we have for a senator.

Funny.

Dems in cities vote several times after death. Why not get pensions, too? Once in a while the news has a story “couple has claimed pensions for six people under false records filed for the past decade.”

For Obama,I think the Kenyan social security system allows him to claim shells, fish and beads as retirement income. He can choose chickens or maize as an additional benefit.

NYERI, KENYA
It may be dismissed by Kenya’s middle classes and elites as primitive, but farmer Leah Wambu, is convinced that bartering promises a new way of protecting rural food supplies as climate change takes hold.

John Kabiro, a trader in Nairobi’s Gikomba market, one of the busiest in the city, argues that bartering does not help social development because it undermines cash-flow systems.

According to Mr. Kabiro, bartering would work better if the government subsidized rural Kenya with social services such as education and health, since these tend to drain households’ income stream.

“Barter trade is the last thing on my mind since it does not give me money,” Kabiro says. “I do not see it working since everyone is after wealth creation.”
