Spending money we don’t have is crazy

I am vehemently opposed to Nancy Pelosi’s $3 trillion “free cheese” giveaway. The plan to keep America whole was a good idea. This boondoggle, however, is a masked attempt to buy votes at the expense of your children and grandchildren.

Our government doesn’t have $3 trillion to give away. This money will be borrowed in addition to our roughly $24 trillion debt. Take a minute to consider – $3 trillion is 3,000 billion dollars.

Some businesses, mine among them, were barely harmed by this pandemic or not at all. We also received the free money that we didn’t need. I am only getting back funds I paid in. Forty percent of Americans don’t pay taxes, and we are gifting them additional money above and beyond what they already receive.

These new funds would bail out states that have been fiscally irresponsible. Do you want your money going to California or Michigan?
