Butch Lewis Act Just Another Big Government Giveaway
Plus updates on farmer protests, Hunter Biden, and more!
Yesterday I posted Biden’s tweet about the act. Now that I’ve had some time to digest the information, I’m even more disgusted than I was yesterday, when I was simply trying to compare losing your savings via inflation against losing your savings via pension collapse. (cliff notes: nobody cares why they lost their savings)
But after reading the text, this really REALLY seems like another taxpayer-funded bailout of a politically favored class. The cynical side (lol) of me thinks this is also a political ploy to attempt to lure the type of blue-collar workers earning a pension back into the fold. With Biden continuing to crater in the polls before midterms, I’d expect more vote-buying schemes in the near future. I wouldn’t even rule out some sort of ‘inflation relief’ check.
Arguably the worst part of these bailout schemes is the way they ultimately condone terrible decisions. The bankers didn’t really pay a price in 2008, and public pensions got their bailout in 2021. Why would these people change their ways, knowing that Uncle Sam will always be there to bail them out (with our money) when things go sideways? (The same question applies to people who use political entities as weapons, or use shady dropboxes and rule changes in the ‘cleanest election ever’)
Also yesterday, I talked about the Dutch farmer protests. They have now spread to (at least) Italy, Germany, and Poland.
In Hunter Biden news, the White House refuses to answer questions Joe Biden leaving a voicemail to his son discussing his business dealings, contrary to very public statements that the two never discussed Hunter’s business.
Psaki looks like Honest Abe compared to Karine Jean-Pierre. Looks like she ducked out of town at the perfect time.
Bonus Hunter news! New videos have surfaced showing him smoking crack and drinking White Claw (I shit you not) WHILE IN REHAB. This guy’s living the crackhead dream! Or he would be, if we would just shut up about all the corruption.
And finally today, it turns out that more than 5 million barrels of oil recently released from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve were shipped overseas — at least some of it bound for China.
Still think this is just typical government incompetence?
"Uncle Sam will always be there to bail them out"
Until it won't, which may be the entire point of all this. $200T in unfunded liabilities is a can that can only be kicked down the road so far...
Incompetence. Lol. I can't believe anyone is falling for that. They know *exactly* what they're doing (including Hunter and all the rest of em). And if one goes back and listens to some of Obama's speeches about bankrupting power plants, preaching that Americans have their AC set too cold and if we'd just air up the tires on our vehicles we'd save money on gas, it feels like I'm experiencing an extreme case of Deja Vu. Pretty much everything going on has been planned. And they haven't kept their plans hidden. It's completely obvious to all of us who have been paying attention and actually have a memory span longer than a goldfish. They're literally doing everything they've talked about doing for years. What a frickin nightmare.
